Hungarian Darts Trophy prize money
The PDC has paid £720k across the four editions of the Hungarian Darts Trophy we hold, from 2022 to 2026. The 2026 pot was £230,000 between 48 players, the European Tour weekend in Budapest, at the BOK hall and then the MVM Dome, and Ross Smith took £35,000 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 four pots below add up to the £720,000 the field has shared. Ross Smith has taken more out of the Hungarian Darts Trophy than anyone else: £46,000 from three appearances. Three of the four were played at MVM Dome, Budapest.

The pot, season by season
season running total
The prize fund has gone from £140,000 in 2022 to £230,000 in 2026, which is £90,000 more and 64% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £25,000 to £35,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 18% to 15%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £720,000.
What each finishing place pays
The seven bands at the 2026 Hungarian Darts Trophy
Nothing here stacks. A player who lost in the semi-finals collected £10,000 and not that plus every band beneath it, which is why the seven bands come to £230,000 rather than to the £78,500 a ladder reading would put on the champion alone. The 2026 rate card has the players in each band and what the band paid out.
