Simon Whitlock prize money
Simon Whitlock has been paid £943,250 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 25th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £45,000 at the 2017 World Grand Prix, where Simon Whitlock lost the final to Daryl Gurney.
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 £45,000 at the 2017 World Grand Prix 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 147 figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £943,250 is 147 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 Simon Whitlock has been paid at 35 of them. The biggest of the 18 that have not paid him are Premier League Darts, PDC World Masters and Baltic Sea Darts Open.
