European Darts Grand Prix 2026 prize money explained: How much can Van Gerwen, Van Veen, Anderson and Price earn in Sindelfingen?

From Friday April 17 - Sunday April 19, the European Darts Grand Prix is set to take place and is the fifth event of the PDC European Tour this season. It is part of a series of 14 tournaments played across Europe.

There is not only the title on the line but also Prize Money at stake for the players. A total of £230,000 in prize money will be distributed throughout the tournament. With players guaranteed money just by playing with £2,000 for doing so but the amounts rise as the tournament goes on with £35,000 eventually going to the champion.

Gary Anderson is the defending champion in Sindelfingen and will return this time around in a line-up that also features Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price with Luke Littler and Luke Humphries deciding against playing once again.

Every player playing in the European Darts Grand Prix earns a share of the prize money on offer with £35,000 going to the winner overall this year.

An important detail at European Tour events concerns the seeded players directly into the second round qualify by right as a top 16 player. If they lose their opening match, the associated prize money is not added to the rankings. In other words: that amount does not count towards the various standings in that case.

A different rule applies to qualifiers. Players who qualified through a qualifying event and, due to withdrawals, are subsequently designated as seeded players will see their earned prize money reflected on the rankings.

The prize money distributed in Sindelfingen also impacts multiple rankings. It counts towards the PDC Order of Merit and the Pro Tour Order of Merit, but especially the European Tour Order of Merit. The latter gleams qualification later in the season for Dortmund.

In addition, a player’s position on that list also determines seeding for that season finale. The higher a player stands on the European Tour Order of Merit, the more favorable the draw for the European Championship.
