Gerwyn Price has surged to the top of the Players Championship Order of Merit after six events, amassing £32,750 following his dominant victory at Players Championship 6. The Welshman now holds a narrow advantage over Wessel Nijman, who sits second with £31,000 despite not adding to his tally at the Leicester event. The Order of Merit, which determines qualification for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead at the end of November, is based on total prize money won across the 34-tournament series held in Hildesheim, Wigan, Leicester, Milton Keynes, and Den Bosch.
Andrew Gilding's run to the final in Leicester propelled him to seventh place with £16,750, a significant jump that strengthens his position in the race for the top 64. Other notable names in the standings include Callan Rydz (£15,500), Kevin Doets (£14,250), and Danny Noppert (£14,250), all remaining within striking distance of the top eight. Further down the list, Beau Greaves has risen into the top 30, sitting 30th with £9,250 after six events—a position that keeps her comfortably inside the provisional qualification spots and within touching distance of the top 32. Her historic nine-darter at Players Championship 6 was a headline moment, but her steady accumulation of ranking money is proving crucial in the Pro Tour picture.
With 28 Players Championship events remaining, the table is far from settled, but Price's move to number one gives him early control in a fiercely competitive campaign. Notably, Luke Littler still has zero prize money on his rankings as he continues not to play the ProTour. The full standings after event six show Chris Dobey in third with £29,500, James Wade fourth with £23,500, and Ross Smith fifth with £23,250, with Luke Humphries sixth on £17,000.
