Leungo Scotch prize money
Leungo Scotch has been paid $13,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1419th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's 400 m, the best of them 3rd.
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.

| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2025 | 400 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Doha Diamond League 2024 | 400 m | 3rd | $3,500 |

| Prefontaine Classic 2023 | 400 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| London Athletics Meet 2023 | 400 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | 400 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| All seven | Men's 400 m | - | $13,250 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,250 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Athletics Relays
What Leungo Scotch ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 400 metres relay | 3rd | 2:58.27 | $10,000 |
The World Relays have paid $10,000 for the one team Leungo Scotch ran on in Guangzhou 2025, and all of it went to Botswana rather than to the four who ran. The $13,250 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Lee Eppie, and the Diamond League has paid them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Leungo Scotch won?
$13,250, which ranks 1419th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2023 and 2025.
What is Leungo Scotch's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the 400 m at the 2024 Doha Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Leungo Scotch 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 place is worth the same in the men's 400 m 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.
What did Leungo Scotch's World Relays teams win?
$10,000, across one paid final in Guangzhou 2025. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Leungo Scotch or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Leungo Scotch earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Leungo Scotch is Lemlem Hailu on $13,250, and one below Martina Strutz on $13,250. Leungo Scotch is one of 18 Botswana athletes athletics has paid, and Botswana athletics prize money adds them up to $1,657,250 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 400 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Leungo Scotch has been paid in one of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat has its own page across every edition of it. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the men's 4 × 400 metres relay page.
