World Series of Darts Finals prize money
The PDC has paid £3.1m across the eleven editions of the World Series of Darts Finals we hold, from 2015 to 2025. The 2025 pot was £400,000 between 32 players, the end of the World Series, with the field set by what players won at the legs during the year, and Michael van Gerwen took £80,000 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 £3,110,000 the field has shared. Michael van Gerwen has taken more out of the World Series of Darts Finals than anyone else: £410,000 from eleven appearances. Six of the eleven were played at AFAS Live, Amsterdam.

The pot, season by season
season running total
The prize fund has gone from £155,000 in 2015 to £400,000 in 2025, which is £245,000 more and 158% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £30,000 to £80,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 19% to 20%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £3,110,000.
What each finishing place pays
The six bands at the 2025 World Series of Darts Finals
Nothing here stacks. A player who lost in the semi-finals collected £25,000 and not that plus every band beneath it, which is why the six bands come to £400,000 rather than to the £177,500 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.
