I play on PS4, and my latency is consistent about 56 ping connected by Ethernet to the router.l was wondering if l can get my latency down in the 20's or so if l changed some router settings.l noticed the leaders on the leaderboard usually have a nice speedy connection...thanks

I wouldn’t use a dmz, you can use port forwarding, this may smooth a connection, but won’t affect ping.
No, UK.
Isn't using DMZ unsafe?

It's not advisable, far better to port forward if you're comfortable with messing around with router settings, there's a ton of info on the net to walk you through it.
My geography is not great but I wonder if you've been affected by the closure of the Ohio centre (same time they closed the UK one), so you're connecting further afield?
In terms of getting your ping from the 50's to the 20's without changing location, I don't see that happening (unless your current ISP is holding you back, or you have a potato for a router).
In terms of DMZ your PS4, I don't see a huge issue with that as compared to putting a PC out there.
Would it be safer and would you get marginal gains with port fwd vs DMZ?
