Gerwyn Price has surged to seventh place on the PDC Order of Merit following his victory at the European Darts Grand Prix 2026 in Sindelfingen. The Welshman claimed his tenth European Tour title, earning £35,000 and climbing three spots after overtaking Josh Rock, Stephen Bunting, and Gary Anderson. Price, who averaged close to a ton per visit across five matches, now sits less than £50,000 behind fifth-placed compatriot Jonny Clayton and just £17,000 behind sixth-placed James Wade. This marks his second ranking title of 2026, strengthening his position as he leads Rock by over £15,000 and breaks free from a tight pack where positions eight through ten are separated by less than £15,000.
Wessel Nijman continues his impressive rise, breaking into the world's top sixteen for the first time after reaching the semi-finals in Sindelfingen. The Dutchman, who started the year as world number 29, has climbed thirteen places since January, moving past Jermaine Wattimena and Martin Schindler. In 2026, Nijman has earned £117,250 on the ProTour—over £32,000 more than the next-best player, Chris Dobey—and has reached at least the quarter-finals in eight of his thirteen ProTour appearances.
While Price and Nijman ascend, Gary Anderson has fallen outside the top ten to eleventh place. The Scot, who started the year in sixth, was unable to defend his 2024 and 2025 titles in Sindelfingen, losing immediately to Niko Springer. Anderson has played only eight of the fifteen ProTour events this season, and his lead over twelfth-placed Ryan Searle is now just £6,000, leaving him vulnerable to further decline. Meanwhile, Peter Wright has dropped outside the top 32 after a first-round loss to Jeffrey de Zwaan, a notable downturn for the former world champion who has reached the quarter-finals of a ranking event only once this season.
Niko Springer's surge continues as he breaks into the world's top fifty for the first time, now ranked 48th after reaching the last sixteen on a Euro Tour for the third time this season. Notably, Springer does not hold a Tour Card, making him the highest-ranked player without one. Krzysztof Ratajski also advances, moving up to 23rd after reaching his second successive European Tour semi-final in Sindelfingen—a first in his career. Since the turn of the year, Ratajski has climbed five places, recently moving past Daryl Gurney and Dave Chisnall.
The updated PDC Order of Merit top ten is led by Luke Littler (£2,959,500), followed by Luke Humphries (£1,193,000), Gian van Veen (£935,250), Michael van Gerwen (£705,250), Jonny Clayton (£672,750), James Wade (£642,750), Gerwyn Price (£625,750), Josh Rock (£609,000), Stephen Bunting (£601,750), and Danny Noppert (£592,750). Other notable rankings include Gary Anderson at 11th (£565,750), Wessel Nijman at 16th (£444,500), Krzysztof Ratajski at 23rd (£374,750), and Peter Wright at 33rd (£297,250).
