Wright defeated Dave Chisnall in the final in Prague on Sunday night. Van Gerwen meanwhile could only manage a run to the quarter-final before suffering a defeat to Rob Cross.
Wright's narrow lead over Van Gerwen in the Order of Merit is now less than £20,000 which means his position is far from secure and there is a big chance that 'Mighty Mike' could soon be back ahead of 'Snakebite'.
Elsewhere in the rankings, Chisnall's run to the final has seen him rise to 12th, Damon Heta is up to a career-high 15th and Mike de Decker is up to 48th after rising two places.
