Final ProTour standings: Nijman on top, Littler only 33rd – Springer best German
Darts news from 7 November 2026: Nijman ends the ProTour season as the top earner, Littler 33rd, Springer best German, ADC Portsmouth ahead of the final day.
The PDC's 2026 ProTour season is over and the final table of the annual money ranking is in: Wessel Nijman leads it with 284.500 pounds, 58.000 pounds ahead of Ross Smith. Luke Littler appears only in 33rd place in this ranking – the world champion entered just five of the 49 ProTour events. The best German is Niko Springer in 31st place.
Final ProTour standings: Nijman on top
The ProTour Order of Merit counts only the prize money from a single calendar year, earned at the 34 Players Championships and the 15 European Tour events. It is therefore neither the PDC Order of Merit, which is calculated over two years, nor the Players Championship ranking that decides the field for the Players Championship Finals. With Players Championship 34 (PC 34) the series has ended, so the table is now final.
- 1. Wessel Nijman – 284.500 pounds
- 2. Ross Smith – 226.500 pounds
- 3. Kevin Doets – 181.750 pounds
- 4. Luke Woodhouse – 172.000 pounds
- 5. Chris Dobey – 170.750 pounds
- 6. Danny Noppert – 153.500 pounds
- 7. Luke Humphries – 152.000 pounds
- 8. Jermaine Wattimena – 147.500 pounds
- 9. Krzysztof Ratajski – 144.250 pounds
- 10. Niels Zonneveld – 142.750 pounds
Nijman has six Players Championship titles to his name this season. Luke Humphries comes in seventh even though he played only 16 of the 49 ProTour events. Jermaine Wattimena is eighth in the table and one of the four pros who turned out at all 49 events this year – alongside him Dirk van Duijvenbode, William O’Connor and Krzysztof Ratajski.
The best-placed tour rookie of the season is Cristo Reyes, who ends the series in 22nd place with 107.750 pounds. Gian van Veen is 13th in the table.
The world champion's position stands out. Littler collected 85.500 pounds from his five starts and is therefore 33rd, just behind Kim Huybrechts (89.000 pounds). He won two of those five events, both on the European Tour. Skipping the two closing Players Championships also cost him a place at the Players Championship Finals. Right behind Littler is Beau Greaves in 34th with 79.500 pounds.
Darts in Germany: Springer ahead of Schindler
In the German-speaking standings of the ProTour season, Niko Springer leads the way. With 91.500 pounds he is 31st and thus two places ahead of Littler. Martin Schindler follows as the second-best German in 36th.
- 31. Niko Springer – 91.500 pounds
- 36. Martin Schindler – 78.250 pounds
- 47. Mensur Suljovic (Austria) – 57.750 pounds
- 50. Gabriel Clemens – 57.250 pounds
- 51. Max Hopp – 56.000 pounds
- 64. Ricardo Pietreczko – 43.000 pounds
Lukas Wenig is the next German player, in 73rd with 37.000 pounds.
ADC Global Championship: last 32
In Portsmouth the last 32 of the ADC Global Championship was played, in best of 11 legs. The following eight results from that round are in:
- Kevin Lankhuizen 6:3 Jenson Remory
- Chas Barstow 6:4 Sam Spivey
- Jamai van den Herik 6:1 Rudie van Staden
- Maikel Kustermans 6:4 Conor Heneghan
- Jack Drayton 6:2 Lewis Pride
- Raymond Mulvey 6:1 Brian Dawson
- Harrison Leigh 6:5 Bryan Flew
- Niek Tuik 6:5 Romeo Grbavac
Two of these eight matches went the full distance: Harrison Leigh and Niek Tuik each came through in the deciding leg. The most convincing wins came from Jamai van den Herik and Raymond Mulvey, who left their opponents just one leg each. Further last-32 matches were scheduled for the same day, so this line-up is a selection.
Coming up tomorrow
On Sunday, World Championship places are handed out internationally. At the Nordic & Baltic Championship the quarter-finals start at 12:00 GMT (13:00 CET), and the winner takes a place at the 2027 PDC World Championship at Alexandra Palace. Because Daniel Larsson, Cor Dekker and Darius Labanauskas have already qualified, the ticket would pass on to Jani Haavisto if one of those three wins. Also on Sunday, the Mediterranean Qualifier is played in Spain, with Jose de Sousa among the entrants.
In Portsmouth, tomorrow brings the final day of the ADC Global Championship. The winner takes 20.000 pounds from a total prize fund of 126.000 pounds.
