Prudence Sekgodiso prize money
Prudence Sekgodiso has been paid $60,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 253rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from sixteen paid finishes in the women's 800 m, 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.

| All 17 | Women's 800 m | — | $60,000 |
The sixteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $60,000 is sixteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 17 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $24,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Prudence Sekgodiso in 2023, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $60,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Prudence Sekgodiso won?
$60,000, which ranks 253rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from sixteen paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Prudence Sekgodiso's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 2nd in the Diamond+ 800 m at the 2025 Prefontaine Classic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Prudence Sekgodiso gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women's 800 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Prudence Sekgodiso won?
Two of 17, worth $20,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $3,000.
Has Prudence Sekgodiso ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. She is in the result table on this site either way.
How much has Prudence Sekgodiso won at the World Indoor Championships?
$40,000, from one paid final in 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 Prudence Sekgodiso earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The 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 her, priced off the card it published.
