World Grand Prix prize money
The PDC has paid £5.3m across the eleven editions of the World Grand Prix we hold, from 2015 to 2025. The 2025 pot was £600,000 between 32 players, the major where a leg has to be started on a double as well as finished on one, 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 £5,350,000 the field has shared. Michael van Gerwen has taken more out of the World Grand Prix than anyone else: £532,000 from eleven appearances. Five of the eleven were played at Mattioli Arena, Leicester.

The pot, season by season
season running total
The prize fund has gone from £400,000 in 2015 to £600,000 in 2025, which is £200,000 more and 50% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £100,000 to £120,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 25% to 20%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £5,350,000.
What each finishing place pays
The six bands at the 2025 World Grand Prix
Nothing here stacks. A player who lost in the semi-finals collected £40,000 and not that plus every band beneath it, which is why the six bands come to £600,000 rather than to the £267,500 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.
