PDC Order of Merit update: Drops for Michael Smith & Dimitri Van den Bergh as Martin Schindler breaks new ground

Originally posted on Dartsnews.com | Last updated Apr 29, 2025 3:00 AM ET

Martin Schindler has achieved a new career milestone in the world rankings following his victory at the Austrian Darts Open. By winning the Euro Tour event in Austria, he earned a prize of £30,000.

This triumph has propelled "The Wall" into the top 20 of the world rankings for the first time. He leapfrogged Dimitri Van den Bergh, Michael Smith, and Ryan Searle in the process. While Schindler climbed three places, Dave Chisnall dropped three spots. "Chizzy" slipped from ninth to twelfth in the rankings, allowing Chris Dobey, James Wade, and Gerwyn Price to move up. Wade has returned to the world’s top 10 after a lengthy absence, while Price is now closing in on a return to that elite group as well.

Elsewhere, there were very few changes within the top 64. Mickey Mansell overtook Madars Razma to claim the No. 42 spot. Wessel Nijman continued his steady rise, moving up one place to 45th, ahead of fellow Dutchman Niels Zonneveld. Matt Campbell climbed to 53rd at the expense of Keane Barry, and Mensur Suljovic took over the 62nd position from Dylan Slevin.
