Owen Bates prize money
Owen Bates has been paid £34,250 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 190th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £15,000 at the 2026 PDC World Championship, where Owen Bates 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 £15,000 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.

| All eleven | — | £34,250 |
The eleven figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £34,250 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and Owen Bates 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.
