US Darts Masters prize money
The PDC has paid £560k across the eight editions of the US Darts Masters we hold, from 2017 to 2026. The 2026 pot was £100,000 between sixteen players, a World Series night in New York, eight invited PDC players drawn against eight North American qualifiers, and Luke Humphries took £30,000 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 eight pots below add up to the £560,000 the field has shared. Luke Humphries has taken more out of the US Darts Masters than anyone else: £70,000 from four appearances.

The pot, season by season
season running total
The prize fund has gone from £60,000 in 2017 to £100,000 in 2026, which is £40,000 more and 67% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £20,000 to £30,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 33% to 30%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £560,000.
What each finishing place pays
The five bands at the 2026 US Darts Masters
Nothing here stacks. A player who lost in the semi-finals collected £10,000 and not that plus every band beneath it, which is why the five bands come to £100,000 rather than to the £62,750 a ladder reading would put on the champion alone. The 2026 rate card has the players in each band and what the band paid out.
