German Darts Masters (European Tour) prize money
The PDC has paid £365k across the three editions of the German Darts Masters (European Tour) we hold, from 2015 to 2017. The 2017 pot was £135,000 between 48 players, the European Tour weekend that carried the German Darts Masters name before the World Series took it, and Michael van Gerwen took £25,000 of it.
A darts player is paid once, for where the run ended, so every pound of a pot lands on exactly one player and the three pots below add up to the £365,000 the field has shared. Michael van Gerwen has taken more out of the German Darts Masters (European Tour) than anyone else: £75,000 from three appearances.

The pot, season by season
season running total
The prize fund has gone from £115,000 in 2015 to £135,000 in 2017, which is £20,000 more and 17% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £25,000 to £25,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 22% to 19%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £365,000.
What each finishing place pays
The seven bands at the 2017 German Darts Masters (European Tour)
Nothing here stacks. A player who lost in the semi-finals collected £6,000 and not that plus every band beneath it, which is why the seven bands come to £135,000 rather than to the £51,000 a ladder reading would put on the champion alone. The 2017 rate card has the players in each band and what the band paid out.
