Ross Smith prize money
Ross Smith has been paid £954,750 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 24th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £120,000 at the 2022 European Championship, where Ross Smith beat Michael Smith in the final.
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 £120,000 at the 2022 European 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
The 107 figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £954,750 is 107 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 1.0% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and Ross Smith has been paid at 32 of them. The biggest of the 21 that have not paid him are Premier League Darts, US Darts Masters and Nordic Darts Masters.
