Czech Darts Open 2024 prize money: £175,000 on offer

The Czech Darts Open 2024 is scheduled from Friday, Oct. 18, to Sunday, Oct. 20, in Prague. The final Euro Tour tournament of the season will see £175,000 in prize money distributed.

A number of players will receive the prize money only in their bank accounts and not added to the world rankings. Indeed, this year 32 players will be automatically invited to the Euro Tours.

First, the top 16 on the Pro Tour Order of Merit will receive an invitation. They have a bye in the first round and enter from the second round. New starting this season is that the top-16 of the cleaned world ranking list also receive an invitation. They do have to start from the first round. However, for both groups, they must win their opening match at the Czech Darts Open in order for the prize money to count toward the world ranking.

The remaining sixteen participants in Prague are winners from the various qualifying tournaments. Regardless of the result these players achieve, they will get the prize money added to the ranking anyway. In any case, they will receive 1250 pounds of starting money.

Upon reaching the second round, the prize money rises to 2,500 pounds. So the top-16 on the seedings list will get this amount anyway, but they still have to win a match to get it added to the world rankings as well.

Making it to the third round is good for £4,000, while quarter-finalists go home with £6,000 anyway. Semi-finalists will get at least £8500 before the rewards go into the five numbers for reaching the final.

For the runner-up at the Czech Darts Open, a sum of 12,000 pounds awaits. The winner of this Euro Tour tournament goes home with £30,000.

The Czech Darts Open is on the program for the fourth time. The very first edition in 2019 had a surprising winner. Jamie Hughes then took the title by dealing with Stephen Bunting in the final. After the two corona years, the event returned to the Euro Tour calendar in 2022. Luke Humphries then captured the title after defeating Rob Cross in the final. In 2023, the first spot was for Peter Wright, who walked away with the title at the expense of Dave Chisnall.
