Players Championship Finals prize money
The PDC has paid £5.4m across the eleven editions of the Players Championship Finals we hold, from 2015 to 2025. The 2025 pot was £600,000 between 64 players, the top of the Pro Tour Order of Merit, so the field is earned over a season of floor events rather than ranked all-time, and Luke Littler took £120,000 of it.
A darts player is paid once, for where the run ended, so every pound of a pot lands on exactly one player and the eleven pots below add up to the £5,420,000 the field has shared. Michael van Gerwen has taken more out of the Players Championship Finals than anyone else: £658,000 from ten appearances. Ten of the eleven were played at Butlin's, Minehead.

The pot, season by season
season running total
The prize fund has gone from £300,000 in 2015 to £600,000 in 2025, which is £300,000 more and 100% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £65,000 to £120,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 22% to 20%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £5,420,000.
What each finishing place pays
The seven bands at the 2025 Players Championship Finals
Nothing here stacks. A player who lost in the semi-finals collected £30,000 and not that plus every band beneath it, which is why the seven bands come to £600,000 rather than to the £249,500 a ladder reading would put on the champion alone. The 2025 rate card has the players in each band and what the band paid out.
