The 2025 World Matchplay of Darts is complete.
Luke Littler took home his first World Matchplay title, already becoming the fifth player to accomplish the Triple Crown feat, at just age 18.
The title win is a huge step towards eventually overtaking Luke Humphries as world number one.
Littler might be the main focus of the tournament, but several players moved up or down quite a bit on the Main Oom rankings.

What players had significant movement on the Main OoM?
Here are some of the players with notable movement after the World Matchplay.
James Wade
Wade has a heck of a week, making the final as the ninth seed.
He moved up from world number eight to world number five.
Wade's previous position would have still enabled him to qualify for any major tournament, but as he inches closer to the top four, he can give himself a great shot at making the 2026 Premier League lineup.
Nathan Aspinall
Aspinall had the worst outcome possible occur.
He came in defending £200,000 of prize money from his 2023 World Matchplay title.
He was only able to win £10,000 for being in the tournament.
He dropped 16 places, from world number 7 to world number 23.
Aspinall is no longer guaranteed a seed at some of the major tournaments and will have to play well on the ProTour and at other events to ensure his participation in the future.

Josh Rock
Rock had a career week, making it to the semifinal despite being unseeded.
He's well inside the top 16, moving from world number 17 to world number 11.
Rock was on the verge at points of beating Luke Littler in their semifinal clash, but Littler was too good to defeat.
Rock should feel very encouraged, though, as a major title should be on the horizon for him.
Joe Cullen
Cullen's fall has continued, as he dropped from world number 24 to world number 29 this tournament.
Falling outside the top 32 would be detrimental for the former World Masters winner, as he's struggled on stage over the past year-plus.
Cullen is currently a couple of spots outside of qualifying for the European Tour and the World Grand Prix.
Gerwyn Price
Price had high hopes of a big run after winning several tournaments during the lead-up to the World Matchplay.
He did make a run to the quarterfinals, but his 2025 campaign stopped there.
Price is still seeking a first major TV title since 2022, but had a positive week at the Matchplay that can move him closer to that goal.
He was already in the top 10 as world number 9 before the tournament, but he was able to move up 3 spots to world number 6.

Jonny Clayton
Clayton was the World Matchplay runner-up in 2023, so he was defending a lot of prize money.
He was able to make the semifinal, but it wasn't enough to meet the amount he won in 2023, which just came off his OoM total.
He dropped three places, from world number five to world number nine.
Clayton will try to put together a strong second half of the year to strengthen his shot at making the 2026 Premier League lineup.
Gian van Veen
The young Dutch star continued his ascent in the PDC with a fairly successful week in Blackpool.
Gian came into the tournament as world number 22 and came out as world number 18.
He picked up a couple of key wins, including a first-round win over world number one Luke Humphries.
Outside of the European Championship, van Veen will be defending very few past results from 2023, so he'll have a real edge over other players as he looks to make it into the top 16.
