Men's 110 metres hurdles prize money

Cordell Tinch won the men's 110 metres hurdles at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in 12.99 and took $70,000. Second was worth $35,000 and third $22,000, and the money ran eight deep, so the final paid $167,000 in all.

Eight athletes started the final, from six countries. One of them did not finish with a place. The championships put up $8,498,000 in Tokyo and spread it eight places deep in every event, which is deeper than any other meeting in athletics pays. Nobody finished 8th, so $5,000 of what this event carries was never handed over.

The winner takes 41% of what the event pays out and the other seven places share the rest. That shape is the same in every individual event on the programme, so the chart is the championship's ladder rather than anything particular to the men's 110 metres hurdles.

Nine days in Tokyo against careers of Diamond League meetings. The series runs fifteen times a summer and pays six places at a fraction of these rates, which is what makes a world title the biggest single cheque most of this field will ever collect. The Budapest column is the Ultimate Championship, the one meeting that pays more for a win.
