There is no change in the prize money given out at this year's UK Open.
Just as in 2017, a total of £350,000 will be handed out. The UK Open champion will take home the £70,000 top prize. Peter Wright was the winner last year. Snakebite picked up his first major title by beating Gerwyn Price 11-6 in the final. Whoever finishes runner-up will claim £35,000. Both losing semi-finalists collect £17,500.
The 128-strong field have plenty of chances to win money. Only the 32 seeds are guaranteed a payout, as they enter in the third round. Every player to compete in the third round gets £1,750. Double that figure will be given to players who make the fourth round. All fifth round contestants collect £6,500.
The 'FA Cup of Darts' sees 96 professionals joined by 32 amateurs. The amateur entrants battled through Riley's qualifiers around the country to make it to Minehead. They will be looking to replicate Rob Cross' rise to stardom. Voltage first appeared at the 2016 UK Open as an amateur, and became world champion less than two years later.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
