Scott Waites prize money
Scott Waites has been paid £33,000 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 197th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £15,000 at the 2021 PDC World Championship, where Scott Waites 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 £15,000 at the 2021 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 twelve figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £33,000 is twelve 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 Scott Waites has been paid at ten of them. The biggest of the 43 that have not paid him are World Matchplay, World Grand Prix and European Championship.

season running total
2021 is the biggest year of it, £15,000 from one event. We hold no event that paid Scott Waites in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2024 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each year is the running total, which reaches £33,000.
