Updated PDC Order of Merit after latest ProTour double header with Ross Smith making top 16 debut and Anderson rise
PDCTuesday, 14 March 2023 at 13:30
Last weekend's Players Championship tournament in Barnsley caused a few shifts on the PDC Order of Merit.
Most noteworthy is the entry of Ross Smith into the top-16 of the world rankings. He won the tournament on Saturday, moved up two places and therefore belongs to the 16 best darters in the world for the first time. The other Players Championship tournament was won by Dirk van Duijvenbode, who, however, is still in 11th position. His gap to number ten Dimitri van den Bergh is still substantial at £67,000.
Gary Anderson, Saturday's losing finalist against Ross Smith, made one place gain and is now 22nd. There were no further changes in the top-32 rankings.
Slightly further down, Mike de Decker is approaching the top-50 of the PDC Order of Merit. The Belgian was in the semi-final on Sunday, earning £4,000 for the ranking. De Decker moved up three positions and now holds the 52nd spot.

- Well done Mike – good to move on and look to the future. With his talent, and increasing confidence on stage, he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the month ahead.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
