Darts prize money

£91,450,000 across the 268 events on this site, 2015 to 2026, paid to 793 players. The PDC World Championship has put up £28,700,000 of it across twelve editions, more than any other tournament.

Michael van Gerwen, with £7,192,750 from 230 events and 79 titles. That is 7.9% of everything the 268 events paid out, and the other 792 players shared the remaining £84,257,250.

No. A player is paid once, for where the run ended, and the band is the whole of it. Add the 2026 PDC World Championship's eight bands up as single payments and they come to £5,000,000, which is the pot; add them as a ladder and the champion alone would take £1,835,000 of it.

£1,000,000, for winning the 2026 PDC World Championship. Luke Littler collected it. The biggest pot on this site is the same event's £5,000,000, split between 128 players.

The PDC World Championship. Its 2026 pot was £5,000,000, against £1,000,000 at the World Matchplay and £650,000 at the Grand Slam of Darts. Across every edition we hold it has paid out £28,700,000.

£15,000 at the 2026 PDC World Championship, £12,500 at the 2026 World Matchplay, £5,000 at the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts and £3,000 at the 2025 Players Championship Finals. It is the whole of what going out there pays: no player in those draws collected less, and nobody collects a round-by-round fee on top of it.
