John Michael prize money
John Michael has been paid £52,000 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 154th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £10,000 at the 2017 PDC World Championship, where John Michael 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 £10,000 at the 2017 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.

The fifteen figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £52,000 is fifteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and John Michael has been paid at eight of them. The biggest of the 45 that have not paid him are World Matchplay, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals.

season running total
2017 is the biggest year of it, £21,500 from seven events. We hold no event that paid John Michael in 2018, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each year is the running total, which reaches £52,000.
