PDC Order of Merit following the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts
Luke Humphries has closed in on the world’s top three after securing his second major title at the Grand Slam of Darts on Sunday.
Six weeks after landing his maiden major silverware at the World Grand Prix, Humphries lifted the Eric Bristow trophy to become the eighth different winner of the Grand Slam since its inception in 2007.
In doing so, Humphries has strengthened his grip on the world number four spot going into the penultimate event of the year – the Players Championship Finals – on Friday.
He is now within sight of Michael van Gerwen in third and is all but assured of a debut appearance in the Premier League next season.
The only change to the top eight following the Grand Slam saw Rob Cross leapfrog Jonny Clayton into eighth spot courtesy of his superb run to the final.
Elsewhere, Damon Heta climbed in to the world’s top ten for the first time after reaching his second televised ranking Quarter-Final of the season in Wolverhampton.
The only other changes to the top 16 saw Dave Chisnall and Joe Cullen each drop a place to 12th and 13th respectively.
A resurgent Stephen Bunting continued his charge up the Order of Merit after reaching the Semi-Finals of the Grand Slam, with the Merseyside marksman rising three places to 21st.
Josh Rock, who recently became Northern Ireland’s number one for the first time, is up a further four places to 22nd after enjoying a fine run to the Quarter-Finals – where he was agonisingly denied in a deciding leg by James Wade.
Despite a group stage exit, Ricardo Pietreczko’s debut qualification for the Grand Slam has seen him climb a further two places to 42nd, while Gian van Veen and Steve Lennon both climbed three places to 49th and 59th respectively, with Lennon bolstering his hopes of retaining his Tour Card at the end of the season.
Stowe Buntz enjoyed a sensational run to the Quarter-Finals in his debut PDC televised campaign, becoming the first American to reach that stage of the Grand Slam.
The CDC Continental Cup winner, who will also feature at Ally Pally next month for the first time, picked up £28,500 after also topping his group and immediately enters the PDC Order of Merit in 91st spot.
Jose De Sousa and Martin Schindler dropped two and three places respectively to 23rd and 26th after failing to qualify for the Grand Slam, while Mervyn King also fell three places to 39th and Mensur Suljovic dropped four positions to 46th.
