Updated PDC Order of Merit after World Darts Championship as Michael Smith becomes World Number One

The PDC World Darts Championship has concluded and with that the Order of Merit has been updated with a new World Number One inserted in the form of Michael Smith.

After winning the PDC World Darts Championship, Smith has added £500,000 to his ranking to take him ahead of Peter Wright and the losing finalist, Michael van Gerwen.

With Wright's World Championship money dropping off next year though, there will likely be opportunities for MVG to mount an assault on Smith's top spot. Gerwyn Price began the tournament as World Number One but ends it as World Number Four and way back on £726,750.

Other movers in the top ten include Danny Noppert and Nathan Aspinall usurping James Wade after the latter's early exit, while rises for Dimitri van den Bergh (+4 to 11), Damon Heta (+4 into the top 16) and Gabriel Clemens (+6 into 19th).

This is mainly due to the demise of Dave Chisnall down to 18th from 12th and even bigger being Gary Anderson who is down 11 after failing to recapture his final run from two years ago.

Raymond van Barneveld is further into the top 32 in 29th while landmark runs for Alan Soutar in 32nd and Josh Rock in 36th see them rise again.

Other top rises further down came from Florian Hempel (up 10 to 50th), Scott Williams (up nine to 57th), Jim Williams (up 18 to 59th) and Lewy Williams (up 10 to 60th). While Karel Sedlacek just missed out on a Tour Card despite going up 14 spots due to losing to Dirk van Duijvenbode. He sits 68th.
