José de Sousa prize money
José de Sousa has been paid £588,750 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 40th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £125,000 at the 2020 Grand Slam of Darts, where José de Sousa beat James Wade in the final.
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 £125,000 at the 2020 Grand Slam of Darts 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
The 60 figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £588,750 is 60 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.6% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and José de Sousa has been paid at 23 of them. The biggest of the 30 that have not paid him are Premier League Darts, European Darts Trophy and Dutch Darts Masters (European Tour).
