Updated PDC ProTour Order of Merit: Price closes in on Van Gerwen in number 1 spot after Belgian Darts Championship win

The PDC ProTour Order of Merit has been updated after the first European Tour event in the form of the Belgian Darts Championship.

The main news is that Gerwyn Price is now closing in on Michael van Gerwen in top spot and is only £4750 away from overtaking Van Gerwen on the Pro Tour Order of Merit.

As a result of winning his second title in as many events, Price has now also increased his lead over both Ian White and Peter Wright heading into the next Players Championship event.

It was previously revealed that Michael van Gerwen had a nervy few months ahead in terms of the ProTour Order of Merit with Mighty Mike set to skip certain events and with Price and Wright in the periphery playing well, it could see him relinquish this top spot for the first time since 2017.
