Wessel Nijman finished the 2026 ProTour season as its most successful player. The Dutchman earned an impressive £284,500 in prize money to finish comfortably top of the ProTour Order of Merit. Kevin Doets also enjoyed an excellent season, finishing third. In total, five Dutch players made the year’s top ten.

Nijman enjoyed an outstanding season on the PDC circuit. The Dutchman won six Players Championship events and also claimed two European Tour titles.

With eight ranking titles, he was one of the standout players of 2026. His performances ultimately earned him top spot in the ProTour rankings. Nijman also finished top of the Players Championship Order of Merit.

Ross Smith was the only player to keep within striking distance. The Englishman earned £226,500 to finish second, £58,000 behind Nijman. Smith won two Players Championship events and two European Tour titles.

Kevin Doets and Luke Woodhouse make big strides

Kevin Doets can also look back on a highly successful season. The Dutchman claimed his first PDC ranking title in 2026 and also reached a European Tour final. His £181,750 in prize money put him third in the ProTour Order of Merit.

Luke Woodhouse took fourth place. The Englishman also enjoyed an excellent year, winning both his first Players Championship title and his first European Tour title.

The Netherlands had a strong presence in the top ten. Alongside Nijman and Doets, Danny Noppert finished sixth, while Jermaine Wattimena claimed eighth place. Niels Zonneveld completed the Dutch contingent in tenth.

Luke Humphries impresses despite limited schedule

Luke Humphries is a notable name in the top ten. The Englishman finished seventh despite playing in only 16 of the 49 ProTour events.

His limited schedule did not stop him from winning four titles. He also reached three more finals, losing each one. Humphries therefore made an exceptional return from a relatively small number of appearances.

His great rival Luke Littler is much further down the rankings. The world number one finished just 33rd in the ProTour Order of Merit, largely because of his limited schedule. “The Nuke” played in only five ProTour events this season, but still managed to win two European Tour titles.

Gian van Veen also finished outside the top ten. The world number two earned enough prize money to place 13th, ahead of James Wade (14th), Michael van Gerwen (16th), Nathan Aspinall (17th), Dirk van Duijvenbode (18th) and Gerwyn Price (21st).

Cristo Reyes leads the newcomers as Beau Greaves also impresses

One of the most notable performances came from Cristo Reyes. The Spaniard returned to the PDC circuit after a six-year absence and immediately made his mark. His £107,750 in prize money put him 22nd in the ProTour Order of Merit.

That made Reyes the season’s highest-ranked newcomer.

Beau Greaves also impressed in her first year as a Tour Card holder. The Englishwoman earned £79,500 in prize money and ended her debut season in 34th place.
