None of this includes any Grand Prix first round money, which as everyone here is in wouldn't change anything. You need to get down to Schindler at 24 before you find anyone that isn't in, and the 7.5k first round money wouldn't see the player directly below him (Gilding) jump him. Gurney at 28 isn't there, but the rest of the FRH top 32 are, with Zonneveld (at 33) and Bialecki (at 40) the two that complete the field.
In terms of the movements, Wade getting a bink mostly just offsets Wade not having got any ranking money since the Matchplay. Smith with a Euro Tour bink and final hits the top 10 for I think the first time, I don't think he got there when he won his major. Woodhouse consistently accumulating well sees him continue to climb, while Bunting not doing a great deal on the Euro Tours since the last update loses some ground, the 100k he got from a worlds semi now counting for barely 10% of that amount in these rankings. Lower down, there's not a huge amount to mention, Dolan getting a good Pro Tour run mostly just arrests a slide and he remains outside the top 50, but yeah, just in general there's not been a huge deal going on.
We've had a bunch of worlds qualifiers been confirmed, such is the depth in most places that it's the case now that it is familiar names, but also with some notable absences. Looking at what we've got coming up, we're a couple of weeks away from the Challenge Tour being done (and then the UK associate qualifier the day after), the Japanese tour is nearly done, and the Nordic tour will finish by the end of September. Bunch of stuff will be sorted in early to mid October, but that's a next month problem. For now, let's just not pay attention to the World Series finals.
