TJ Holmes prize money
TJ Holmes has been paid $21,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 569th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 2nd.
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.

The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $21,500 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has TJ Holmes won?
$21,500, which ranks 569th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2018 and 2019.
What is TJ Holmes's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 400 m hurdles at the 2019 Bauhausgalan. 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 TJ Holmes 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 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.
Is this everything TJ Holmes earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
