The PDC world rankings are calculated using prize money earned from ranking events over a rolling two-year period.<\/p>\n
World number two Littler collected \u00a3200,000 for his victory in Blackpool, taking him above the \u00a31.5m mark overall.<\/p>\n
He is now within \u00a3300,000 of world number one Humphries’ total of just under \u00a31.8m.<\/p>\n
Because Littler did not play in any major events during 2023, any prize money he makes until the World Championship in December will be pure profit for his tally.<\/p>\n
Humphries, meanwhile, won three big televised titles towards the end of 2023 before his World Championship final victory against Littler in January 2024.<\/p>\n
He will be defending in excess of \u00a3400,000 of his prize-money total before the World Championship.<\/p>\n
Michael van Gerwen, who is third in the world rankings behind Humphries and Littler, has won close to \u00a3740,000 over the past 24 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
