Cameron Menzies: Current Ranking, Earnings and News
Scottish darts fans watching the 2025 World Grand Prix got a reminder of how quickly a career can turn: Cameron Menzies went from a first-round exit at the 2024–25 World Championship to a quarter-final run that ended only when Luke Humphries beat him 3–1, according to Wikipedia’s player record. The same year produced a Players Championship title, a 26th seed at the 2025 Worlds, and then a table-punching exit that left everyone asking what happens next — this profile sorts the verified record from the open questions.
PDC Order of Merit: 27 · 2025 World Championship seed: 26th · Career prize money: £619,700 · Born: 27 June 1989 · Nationality: Scottish · Major titles: Players Championship 11 (2025), British Open (2016), Scottish Open (2017)

What’s up with Cameron Menzies?
Short version: a career-best 2025 that ended in a messy first-round exit at the World Championship. The results are real; the noise around them is partly unanswered.
Recent matches and results
- Won Players Championship 11, beating Peter Wright 8–3 in the final, and reached the World Grand Prix quarter-finals, where Luke Humphries ended the run 3–1 (Wikipedia)
- 2025 World Masters: beat Dave Chisnall 3–1, then lost 4–1 to Nathan Aspinall in the second round (BBC Sport results)
- The year then closed with a first-round exit to Charlie Manby — more on that below.
What has Cameron Menzies said about his form?
Menzies’ 2025 reads like a player whose ProTour results are outrunning his televised results; the next step is turning those deep runs into a televised semi-final or better.
He has framed 2025 as a reset — a weight-loss push after a difficult year — and the reporting around him is consistent: results improved, conduct wobbled at the worst moment.
The pattern: his results said “rising player” all year, but the Worlds exit was a blunt reminder that seedings don’t win matches.
What is Cameron Menzies’ current world ranking?
Rankings move weekly in the PDC, so “current” means two parallel numbers: the Order of Merit and the seed drawn for each major.
How the PDC Order of Merit works
- The Order of Merit is prize-money based: the deeper a player goes, the higher the ranking. Menzies’ movement shows the formula — he sat 39th at the 2024–25 Worlds (BBC Sport) and arrived at the 2025 Worlds as the 26th seed.
- Seeding shapes the draw: a 26th seed usually meets the top seeds only later, which is how a strong ProTour year buys more televised chances.
Career earnings and prizes
£619,700 in career prize money, per the DartsOrakel tracker, says less about talent than about consistency: Menzies built the total steadily, but his two most recent World Championship appearances both ended in the first round.
The money mix matters: ProTour titles and televised quarter-finals pay well, while the World Championship pays the biggest single cheques — and that is where Menzies has come up shortest. The earnings trail reads more “steady climber” than “overnight star”.
The implication: he is close enough that one good World Championship run changes his bracket, and far enough that every early exit now costs ranking ground.
Will Cameron Menzies be fined?
That is the question no official announcement has answered yet.
Incident details and context
- At the 2025 World Championship, Menzies lost 3–2 to Charlie Manby after leading 2–1 in sets (The Straits Times)
- After the match, he apologised for punching a table (ABC News Australia)
- No fine or suspension from the PDC or the Darts Regulation Authority has been made public
- Manby’s ranking was reported differently across outlets, complicating how the upset is framed
PDC disciplinary rules
A fine wouldn’t change Menzies’ seed, but it would change the public record: conduct at the World Championship is watched by referees, broadcasters and sponsors, and a sanction would linger in search results long after ranking points reset.
Darts has strict rules about behaviour toward the board, referees and opponents; the Darts Regulation Authority handles such cases. With no public ruling yet, “will he be fined?” stays a live question for the new season.
The catch: the silence after the apology is now part of the story. Watch the DRA’s public announcements, not just the rankings.
The pattern: until the DRA speaks, a career-best season sits next to an unresolved conduct question in the public record.
Cameron Menzies career timeline
The milestones tell a simpler story than the headlines.
- — Won the British Open
- — Won the Scottish Open
- — Ranked 39th and lost 3–1 to Leonard Gates in the first round of the 2024–25 World Championship (BBC Sport)
- — Beat Dave Chisnall 3–1 at the World Masters, then lost 4–1 to Nathan Aspinall (BBC Sport results)
- — A Players Championship 11 title and a World Grand Prix quarter-final rounded out the strongest season of his PDC career (Wikipedia)
- — Seeded 26th at the World Championship; lost 3–2 to Charlie Manby after leading 2–1 in sets (ABC News Australia)
What this means: every milestone since 2024 pushes the same direction — up — but the two World Championship exits show the gap between ranking and results on the sport’s biggest stage.
Separating fact from speculation
Some claims are settled by results; others are still open.
Confirmed facts
- Beat Dave Chisnall 3–1 at the 2025 World Masters (BBC Sport results)
- Won Players Championship 11 in 2025, beating Peter Wright 8–3 in the final (Wikipedia)
- Menzies is Scottish and was born in Scotland (Wikipedia)
What’s unclear
- Whether a fine or suspension follows the table-punching incident — no PDC announcement is public
- Charlie Manby’s exact world ranking (166th vs 163rd in different reports)
- What exactly drove the “turbulent year” behind Menzies’ weight-loss push
- Where Menzies will sit on the ProTour Order of Merit when the 2026 majors are seeded
The takeaway: the confirmed record is good enough to justify the ranking; the unresolved questions are about conduct and timing, not talent.
What the reporting says
The match reports agree on the key moments. Two lines frame the 2025 story.
“Menzies led 2–1 in sets against Charlie Manby before losing the deciding set.”
The Straits Times (match report)
“He was ranked 39th during his first-round defeat to Leonard Gates at the 2024–25 World Championship.”
BBC Sport (player record)
What this means: the reporting has a consistent factual core, and the disagreement is limited to details like Manby’s precise ranking.
Why the next 12 months matter
Menzies enters 2026 with the strongest season of his PDC career behind him — a ProTour title, a World Grand Prix quarter-final and a 26th seed are all verified in the reporting. The obstacle is equally visible: first-round exits at two successive World Championships, plus a table-punch apology that now sits beside his results in the public record. For Menzies, the choice is clear: keep bankrolling the ranking with ProTour consistency and convert one televised run into a major semi-final, or keep letting first-round exits at the World Championship cap both his earnings and his ceiling.
