Kirk Shepherd prize money
Kirk Shepherd has been paid £20,250 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 252nd of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £3,500 at the 2017 UK Open, where Kirk Shepherd lost in the round of 32.
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 £3,500 at the 2017 UK Open 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 eleven | — | £20,250 |
The eleven figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £20,250 is eleven 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 Kirk Shepherd has been paid at eight of them. The biggest of the 45 that have not paid him are PDC World Championship, World Matchplay and Grand Slam of Darts.
