No player has shaped the 2026 ProTour so far quite like Wessel Nijman. Six titles in 24 events, including a triumph at the ELTEN Safety Shoes European Darts Trophy in Göttingen and most recently at Players Championship 12 in Milton Keynes, catapulted the Dutchman to number one on the ProTour Order of Merit with £267,000. However, the field of winners has far more to tell than just the Dutchman’s success story.
Particularly remarkable: several players celebrated their first-ever ProTour title this year. Beau Greaves made history at Players Championship 11 in Milton Keynes, becoming the first woman ever to win a ProTour event. Kevin Doets celebrated his debut victory at PC 13 in Hildesheim, having previously caused a stir with a semi-final and a final appearance on the Winamax PDC European Tour. Andrew Gilding, the 2023 UK Open champion, also won his first floor title at PC 16. And Luke Woodhouse crowned a strong season so far at Players Championship 18 in Leicester with his first ever ProTour title, following it up just twelve days later at the ELTEN Safety Shoes Baltic Sea Darts Open with his maiden European Tour title.
