Updated ProTour Order of Merit after Players Championship 8: White and Price close to catching Van Gerwen

White kept up the pace after winning his first Players Championship title of the season last night. Michael van Gerwen has been the leading light on the ProTour since 2017 but this period looks set to be over.

Price stands only £10,500 away and White is around £11,000 and with especially the latter having not much to defend much, it could happen very soon.

For Van Gerwen despite announcing he was back of sorts with his victory at the UK Open has yet to win on the floor yet this season and was thwarted by his rival Nathan Aspinall and his compatriot Maik Kuivenhoven this past weekend in what could be the last action for a while.

Pro Tour Order of Merit is based on the performance of players on the European Tour and Players Championship tournaments with the top 16 automatically putting themselves into the seeds for the former events where they skip the first round.
