Wright becomes third player to reach £1million in PDC Order of Merit

Peter Wright has made history recently by becoming only the third player to reach £1million in the PDC Order of Merit.

The reigning World Champion broke this barrier on the two year rolling Order of Merit by reaching the semi-finals at the Players Championship Finals.

This is likely to increase and could result in Wright reaching World Number One status after the World Championship.

He joins Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor as the only three players to break this barrier since 2007 when the Order of Merit began.
