International Darts Open prize money
The PDC has paid £1.5m across the ten editions of the International Darts Open we hold, from 2015 to 2026. The 2026 pot was £230,000 between 48 players, the European Tour weekend at the SACHSENarena in Riesa, 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 ten pots below add up to the £1,500,000 the field has shared. Gerwyn Price has taken more out of the International Darts Open than anyone else: £98,500 from eight appearances. Every one of the ten was played at SACHSENarena, Riesa.

The pot, season by season
season running total
The prize fund has gone from £115,000 in 2015 to £230,000 in 2026, which is £115,000 more and 100% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £25,000 to £35,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 22% to 15%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £1,500,000.
What each finishing place pays
The seven bands at the 2026 International Darts Open
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.
