Van Gerwen heeft eerste plaats op Players Championship Order of Merit in vizier na tweede titel, Jansen in top-15 na stuntzege

Michael van Gerwen wist afgelopen weekend voor de tweede week op rij een Players Championship-toernooi te winnen. Hierdoor is Mighty Mike nu opgeklommen naar de tweede plaats op de Players Championship Order of Merit.

De achterstand van Van Gerwen op Joe Cullen is nog maar 1750 pond. The Rockstar wist net als de Nederlander ook al twee Players Championship-titels te winnen dit seizoen.

Ook Danny Jansen wist één van de toernooien te winnen afgelopen week. De 19-jarige Holtenaar stuntte vrijdag met het winnen van Players Championship 9 na zeges op onder meer Peter Wright (6-5), Krzysztof Ratajski (6-5), Chris Dobey (6-4), Dave Chisnall (7-6) en Andrew Gilding (8-6). Jansen staat nu vijftiende op de ranglijst, en is normaal gesproken al bijna zeker van deelname aan de Players Championship Finals later dit jaar.

Verder staan ook Danny Noppert (25), Kevin Doets (28), Dirk van Duijvenbode (31), Raymond van Barneveld (32), Niels Zonneveld (37), Geert Nentjes (46) en Vincent van der Voort (48) momenteel in de top-64.

Na alle Players Championship-toernooien doen de beste 64 spelers mee aan de Players Championship Finals. Dit toernooi wordt van 25 tot en met 27 november in Minehead gespeeld.
