Motomu Sakai prize money
Motomu Sakai has been paid £28,500 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 215th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £25,000 at the 2026 PDC World Championship, where Motomu Sakai 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 £25,000 at the 2026 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 |
|---|---|---|
| PDC World Championship 2026 | Last 64 | £25,000 |
| Bahrain Darts Masters 2026 | Last 16 | £1,750 |
| Saudi Arabia Darts Masters 2026 | Last 16 | £1,750 |
| All three | — | £28,500 |
The three figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £28,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and Motomu Sakai 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.
