One of the biggest talking points in recent weeks has been the emergence of Greaves and her potentially getting a spot in amongst the elite next season.
But Price, 40, was quick to dismiss the chat of red-hot prospect Greaves getting a place in the prestigious PL in 2026.
He said: “I’m No1 on the ProTour, No1 on the Players Championship list. If you look at money earned I’m in the top five, top six, I’ve had a great year.
“You look at everybody else, don’t question me, question them.

“Yeah I think that’s a joke, I dunno.”
Price also revealed that he switched back to his old BLACK SHOES in a bid to add another win to his three previous Slam victories.
He added: “I stuck with my black and white shoes. But my buddy John has been away for quite a while. When he’s with me it’s always a good omen.
“He said go back to your old shoes and get rid of those Nathan Aspinall trainers is what he says. I have and it’s worked.”

Greaves was tipped to reach the Premier League by Raymond van Barneveld – if she performs well at the World Darts Championship.
He said: “First of all, I’m so proud of her, of what she is doing.
“All these tournaments where she was unbeaten in the Women’s Series.
“Wow. I played her recently, and you can say, ‘yeah, you have to play against a woman’.
“Yes. So what? I don’t look at it like that. For me, it’s just a game, and she beat me 6-4.
“So yeah, you can say, a woman, but she’s quality. She does her country proud, and her family and herself proud.
“Hopefully, if she does well in the World Championship, I can guarantee you she’ll get a Premier League ticket.”
