The last 12 months haven't been the best for Ronnie Baxter, and that's reflected in his continued slip down the PDC Order of Merit.

Though he has won twice on tour, in Halle in January and Ontario in August, he has failed to make an impact in the more lucrative televised majors and must turn that around quickly if he is to halt his slide down the rankings.

Twice a runner-up at the BDO World Championship at the Lakeside (once after a final lasting just 46 minutes), Baxter made the big switch to the PDC in 2002.

Without a major title to his name at the age of 50, he has twice reached the semi-finals of the World Matchplay, while he was also runner-up at the Desert Classic in 2002.

Hugely popular with crowds up and down the country, Baxter is a born entertainer but can be maddeningly inconsistent.
