Luke Humphries mag opnieuw een grote som prijzengeld bijschrijven op de PDC Order of Merit. Na het winnen van de World Grand Prix (120.000 pond) pakte 'Cool Hand Luke' zondagavond de titel op de Grand Slam of Darts.
Zijn klinkende zege op Rob Cross (16-8) in de finale zorgde ervoor dat Humphries de hoofdprijs van 150.000 pond incasseerde. De Engelsman blijft vierde op de ranglijst, maar zijn achterstand op de top-3 Michael Smith, Michael van Gerwen en Peter Wright is aanzienlijk geslonken.

Weergaloze Luke Humphries laat Rob Cross compleet kansloos in de finale van Grand Slam of Darts
Wright ontbreekt komend weekend op de Players Championship Finals, wat betekent dat Humphries dan de derde plek kan aanvallen. Indien Humphries ook in Minehead wint, dan gaat hij als nummer drie van de wereld naar het WK Darts. De voormalig jeugdwereldkampioen mag ondertussen ook dromen van de eerste plek op de wereldranglijst. Indien hij in januari wereldkampioen wordt, dan is de kans groot dat hij de PDC Order of Merit na het WK Darts aanvoert.
Verliezend finalist Cross is opgeklommen naar de achtste plaats, terwijl Damon Heta na het bereiken van de kwartfinales de top-10 is ingedoken. Halvefinalist Stephen Bunting maakt drie plaatsen progressie en is gestegen naar de 21ste plaats. Josh Rock mocht vier plekken omhoog klimmen na het halen van de kwartfinales en staat nu 22ste op de wereldranglijst.
Opvallend is dat Vincent van der Voort drie plekken is gestegen zonder zelf te spelen op de Grand Slam of Darts. Dat komt omdat Mervyn King, Ryan Joyce en Mensur Suljovic hun gewonnen prijzengeld van twee jaar geleden niet konden verdedigen omdat zij zelf ook afwezig waren in Wolverhampton.
Gian van Veen werd op de Grand Slam of Darts in de groepsfase uitgeschakeld maar maakt wel verder progressie op de wereldranglijst. Hij is met drie plaatsen gestegen naar de 49ste plek en debuteert dus in de top-50 van de PDC Order of Merit.
