De World Matchplay heeft voor de nodige verschuivingen gezorgd op de PDC Order of Merit. Wel bleef Rob Cross ondanks zijn eindzege op de tweede plaats staan.
Cross
won zondagavond ten koste van Michael Smith de 26ste editie van de World Matchplay in Blackpool. Smith steeg wel een plek op de PDC Order of Merit en is nu de nummer vier van de wereld, zijn hoogste notering ooit. 'Bullyboy' passeerde zijn mentor Gary Anderson, die zakte naar plek vijf.
Van alle Nederlanders deelnemers in Blackpool was Michael van Gerwen de enige speler die geen progressie maakte op de PDC-ranking. Dat kon ook niet, want de Vlijmenaar gaat nog steeds ruim aan de leiding op de ranglijst.
Jermaine Wattimena maakt één plek winst en staat nu 21ste. Jeffrey de Zwaan steeg van 33 naar 29, terwijl Danny Noppert de 38ste plaats voor de 37ste plek verruilde. Voor dit Nederlandse drietal is het hun hoogste positie ooit op de wereldranglijst. Vincent van der Voort boekte ook een mijlpaal. De Noord-Hollander passeerde Raymond van Barneveld en is nu de nummer 34 op de lijst.
Glen Durrant maakte de grootste stijging op de PDC-wereldranglijst na het bereiken van de halve finale op de World Matchplay. De drievoudig Lakeside-kampioen steeg van plek 64 naar de 44ste positie.
De spelers die aan het einde van het seizoen in de top-64 van de PDC Order of Merit staan, zijn verzekerd van een Tour Card voor het volgende seizoen. Darters die hun Tour Card op de Q-School hebben gewonnen, krijgen twee jaar de tijd om een plek in de top-64 van de wereldranglijst te bemachtigen.
