New Zealand Darts Masters prize money
The PDC has paid £440k across the six editions of the New Zealand Darts Masters we hold, from 2019 to 2026. The 2026 pot was £100,000 between sixteen players, the World Series leg in Auckland, eight invited PDC players drawn against eight Oceanic qualifiers, and Jonny Clayton took £30,000 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 six pots below add up to the £440,000 the field has shared. Gerwyn Price has taken more out of the New Zealand Darts Masters than anyone else: £53,500 from five appearances. Two of the six were played at Spark Arena, Auckland.

The pot, season by season
season running total
The prize fund has gone from £60,000 in 2019 to £100,000 in 2026, which is £40,000 more and 67% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £20,000 to £30,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 33% to 30%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £440,000.
What each finishing place pays
The five bands at the 2026 New Zealand Darts Masters
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 five bands come to £100,000 rather than to the £62,750 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.
