Kyron McMaster prize money
Kyron McMaster has been paid $202,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 104th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 23 paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles and men's 300 m hurdles, three 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 23 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $202,250 is 23 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the 25 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $60,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kyron McMaster in 2020 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $202,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kyron McMaster won?
$202,250, which ranks 104th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 23 paid finishes between 2017 and 2026.
What is Kyron McMaster's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m hurdles at the 2018 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kyron McMaster 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 400 m hurdles 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 Kyron McMaster won?
Three of 25, worth $110,000 between them. Five of his appearances came at a final, which paid $124,000.
Has Kyron McMaster 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Kyron McMaster earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, 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.
