KEVIN DOETS SURGES INTO TOP THREE ON PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP ORDER OF MERIT AFTER PC13 VICTORY

Kevin Doets' breakthrough victory at Players Championship 13 has propelled him to third place on the Players Championship Order of Merit with £57,000, closing the gap on the leading pair. The Dutchman's first PDC ranking title marks a significant milestone, as he now sits firmly among the top contenders on the ProTour.

Wessel Nijman remains at the summit with £84,500 despite an early exit in Hildesheim, while Chris Dobey holds second on £66,500 after another consistent run to the latter stages. Luke Woodhouse, the runner-up in PC13, is one of the biggest movers, rising to sixth on £34,750 after reaching his first Players Championship final. Woodhouse remains the highest-ranked player in the entire PDC never to win a title.

Beau Greaves stays fourth on £37,250 following her recent title win, with James Wade (£36,250) and Andrew Gilding (£34,500) holding strong positions inside the top eight. Ross Smith (£33,250), Gerwyn Price (£32,750), and Joe Cullen (£28,750) complete the current top 10 as the standings continue to tighten.

The Players Championship series comprises 34 tournaments across Hildesheim, Wigan, Leicester, Milton Keynes, and a new 2026 addition, Den Bosch. The Order of Merit determines the top 64 players who qualify for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead at the end of November, based on total prize money won in Players Championship events throughout the year.
