Phil Taylor prize money
Phil Taylor has been paid £830,500 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 30th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £170,000 at the 2018 PDC World Championship, where Phil Taylor lost the final to Rob Cross.
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 £170,000 at the 2018 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.

The 29 figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £830,500 is 29 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.9% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and Phil Taylor has been paid at sixteen of them. The biggest of the 37 that have not paid him are International Darts Open, European Darts Grand Prix and German Darts Championship.
