Stephen Bunting prize money
Stephen Bunting has been paid £1,745,000 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 13th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £115,000 at the 2026 Premier League Darts, where Stephen Bunting finished fifth, one place short of the play-offs.
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 £95,000 at the 2026 Premier League Darts is one payment with nothing behind it, and the £20,000 for winning two Premier League nights is the one thing here paid more than once. 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 183 figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £1,745,000 is 183 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 1.9% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and Stephen Bunting has been paid at 43 of them. The biggest of the 10 that have not paid him are German Darts Masters, Melbourne Darts Masters and Auckland Darts Masters.
