Kurtis Marschall prize money
Kurtis Marschall has been paid $119,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 110th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 24 paid finishes in the men's pole vault, two of them wins.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 24 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $119,000 is 24 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the 26 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.

season running total
2026 is the biggest of them, $62,500 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kurtis Marschall in 2019, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $119,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kurtis Marschall won?
$119,000, which ranks 110th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 24 paid finishes between 2018 and 2026.
What is Kurtis Marschall's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ pole vault at the 2026 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kurtis Marschall gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a win is worth the same in the men's pole vault as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
How many Diamond League meetings has Kurtis Marschall won?
Two of 26, worth $40,000 between them. Three of his appearances came at a final, which paid $16,500.
Has Kurtis Marschall ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much did Kurtis Marschall win at the 2025 World Championships?
$22,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
How much has Kurtis Marschall won at the World Indoor Championships?
$16,000, from two paid finals across Toruń 2026 and Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Kurtis Marschall earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships and World Indoor Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
