Alexander Merkx prize money
Alexander Merkx has been paid £20,000 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 254th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £15,000 at the 2025 PDC World Championship, where Alexander Merkx lost in the round of 64.
Every figure here is a single payment. A darts tournament pays for where the run ended and not for each round on the way to it, so the £15,000 at the 2025 PDC World Championship is one payment with nothing behind it. That is the opposite of a football run, where a club collects again at every round it reaches.

Every payment
Where each run ended, and what the band paid for it
| EVENT | FINISH | PAID |
|---|---|---|
| UK Open 2026 | Last 64 | £3,000 |
| PDC World Championship 2025 | Last 64 | £15,000 |
| UK Open 2025 | Last 128 | £1,000 |
| Dutch Darts Masters (European Tour) 2019 | Last 48 | £1,000 |
| All four | — | £20,000 |
The four figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £20,000 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and Alexander Merkx has been paid at three of them. The biggest of the 50 that have not paid him are World Matchplay, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals.

season running total
2025 is the biggest year of it, £16,000 from two events. We hold no event that paid Alexander Merkx in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each year is the running total, which reaches £20,000.
