Updated PDC Order of Merit after Players Championship 1-2: Wade swaps with Aspinall in only top ten change as Hughes rises towards top 50

The PDC Order of Merit has been updated after the opening ProTour tournaments of the season won by Ryan Searle and Danny Noppert respectively.

Only change to happen inside the top ten was James Wade swapping places with Nathan Aspinall to go into ninth place with Noppert only putting more pressure on Jonny Clayton to close in on seventh spot.

There were also small rises for Callan Rydz (#22), Stephen Bunting (#23), Madars Razma (#34) and Simon Whitlock (#36) at the expense of Gary Anderson for the former two and Adrian Lewis, Josh Rock and William O'Connor for the latter players.

While Jamie Hughes is up five spots after reaching the final of one tournament and the Last 16 losing to eventual champion, Noppert in the other and he is up to 51st.
