James Bailey prize money
James Bailey has been paid £20,500 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 249th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £7,500 at the 2021 PDC World Championship, where James Bailey lost the first match.
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 £7,500 at the 2021 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.

| All six | — | £20,500 |
The six figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £20,500 is six 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 James Bailey has been paid at four of them. The biggest of the 49 that have not paid him are World Matchplay, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals.

season running total
2019 is the biggest year of it, £10,000 from three events. We hold no event that paid James Bailey in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each year is the running total, which reaches £20,500.
