The WDF Ranking has been updated after Lakeside and also 2025 Q-School where Jimmy van Schie he almost lost his Tour Card, so he will resume his reign as world No. 1.
David Cameron booked a spot at Lakeside after winning the Las Vegas Open. He’s 50th in the rankings, but that doesn’t really matter. With him already set to perform at the legendary venue next December, one run could negate the need for rankings success.
Danny Porter, who was WDF world No. 1 at Lakeside, is ranked No. 2 in the world, ahead of Brandon Weening, Piotr Machin AND Ben Robb meaning that apart from Van Schie it is in the top five of all Oceanic countries.
The Dutchman keeps every player in between, while Van Schie and Merkx occupy places 1 and 6. Leonard Gates is seventh, with Benjamin Pratnemer, Jason Brandon and Carl Wilkinson rounding out the top ten.
Shane McGuirk, Marko Kantele and the aforementioned Cameron automatically qualify for Lakeside, and the rankings were updated following the recent Las Vegas Open.
