PDC Order of Merit

The PDC Order of Merit is the world ranking system for professional darts players used by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). Prior to the 2007 PDC World Darts Championship, world rankings were obtained from points awarded for performances in ranking tournaments. Since then, the Order of Merit has been calculated using the total prize money won in PDC ranking tournaments. World rankings are used to determine qualification and seeding for the televised ranking tournaments as well as the awarding of PDC Tour Cards at the end of the season. The PDC also operate several secondary Orders of Merit which count prize money won on specific PDC Tours and may also offer qualification to specific televised events. The current world number one is Luke Humphries, who is the thirteenth player to hold the top spot.
