Van Gerwen regains number-one spot on ProTour Order of Merit after two years

Michael van Gerwen is the new number one on the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit after his final victory at the Austrian Darts Open. He passed Gerwyn Price, who withdrew from the latest Euro Tour tournament in Austria.

Van Gerwen had to wait two years to regain the number one spot, after he lost the lead in March 2020. The Pro Tour Order of Merit is a ranking based on performances in the Players Championship and Euro Tour tournaments in the last twelve months. In this period Van Gerwen now has two Euro Tour and three Players Championship titles.

The Pro Tour Order of Merit is used to determine the sixteen seeds for the European Tour tournaments. At the Players Championship tournaments the first 32 players have a protected status. The Pro Tour Ranking also allows players to qualify for televised tournaments such as the World Matchplay, World Grand Prix and the World Darts Championship.
