Biggest movers on the PDC Order of Merit in 2020

Dimitri Van den Bergh

As the dust settles on the 2020 season, we take a look at the biggest movers on the PDC Order of Merit over the last 12 months.

While 2020 was a year to forget for many of us, it was one to remember for a number of players who made great strides in the PDC ranks, not least Dimitri Van den Bergh.

The 26-year-old came of age in 2020, sensationally lifting the Phil Taylor Trophy on his World Matchplay debut, while also reaching the semi-finals of the Grand Slam of Darts to propel himself up 19 places and into the world's top ten.

The Belgian's rise has seen him earn a Premier League berth for the first time in 2021, along with Jose de Sousa whose Grand Slam triumph saw him rocket up 46 places to 15th.

Premier League champion Glen Durrant also broke into the world's top 16 for the first time, while Devon Petersen's maiden European Tour event win saw the South African rise 28 places.

On the other side of the coin, Mensur Suljovic and Adrian Lewis dropped out of the top 16, while Max Hopp, Darren Webster and Steve West fell out of the top 32.

NB: The below list only includes players who started 2020 on the PDC Order of Merit.
