Scott Lincoln prize money
Scott Lincoln has been paid $2,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2832nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's shot put, the best of them 5th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2024 | Shot put | 5th | $1,250 |
| London Athletics Meet 2024 | Shot put | 7th | $750 |
| London Athletics Meet 2023 | Shot put | 9th | - |
| All three | Men's shot put | - | $2,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Season by season
2023 to 2024, in the order it was won
season running total
2024 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Scott Lincoln in 2023, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $2,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Scott Lincoln won?
$2,000, which ranks 2832nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2023 and 2024.
What is Scott Lincoln's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the shot put at the 2024 Weltklasse Zürich. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Scott Lincoln 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 shot put 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.
Has Scott Lincoln 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
How much did Scott Lincoln win at the 2025 World Championships?
$5,000, 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 Scott Lincoln won at the World Indoor Championships?
$8,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. 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 Scott Lincoln earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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.
