Paul Lim prize money
Paul Lim has been paid £91,250 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 111th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £25,000 at the 2026 PDC World Championship, where Paul Lim 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.

| All eleven | — | £91,250 |
The eleven figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £91,250 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.10% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and Paul Lim has been paid at four of them. The biggest of the 49 that have not paid him are World Matchplay, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals.

season running total
2026 is the biggest year of it, £28,500 from three events. We hold no event that paid Paul Lim in 2024 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each year is the running total, which reaches £91,250.
