Players Championship Order of Merit Update: Michael van Gerwen well outside of Minehead spots after another early loss

Originally posted on Dartsnews.com | Last updated May 13, 2025 12:00 AM ET

Krzysztof Ratajski has made a big jump on the Players Championship Order of Merit after winning the fifteenth Players Championship tournament on Monday.

The Pole successively defeated Dylan Slevin (6-3), Jim Long (6-2), Jamai van den Herik (6-5), Carl Sneyd (6-0), Ross Smith (6-5), Scott Williams (7-4) and Dave Chisnall (8-4) to win a PDC rankings title for the eleventh time in his career. His title earned him 15,000 pounds, which moved him up 40 spots and now ranks him 13th in the Players Championship rankings.

Gian van Veen is still second. He is only ahead of Gerwyn Price. The Welshman is on 57,000 pounds, but will add nothing this week. 'The Iceman' is one of the many top players not competing in the Players Championship twosome in Hildesheim.

Cameron Menzies follows in third place with £48,000, while Josh Rock (£43,500) and Damon Heta (£41,500) complete the top five. Michael van Gerwen sits only just inside the top 100 as despite playing this week, he lost again in the opening round so failed to add any money to his total. At the end of the season, the top 64 will receive an invitation to participate in the Players Championship Finals.
