World Championship sponsor Paddy Power has transferred one million pounds to Prostate Cancer UK after the last edition of the World Darts Championship. Newly crowned champion Luke Humphries, however, also made a donation.
The 28-year-old Englishman earned £500,000 in prize money with his world title. A Sporting Life journalist writes that Humphries will donate part of that prize money to Prostate Cancer UK.
There is a special story behind this donation. His father-in-law struggled with prostate cancer himself, but thankfully managed to recover from it. Humphries also received the inaugural Ballon d'Art award after the final because he had thrown the most 180 scores at the World Darts Championship. Humphries decided to give this trophy to his father-in-law.

- I hope it does get some harsh crowd treatment,,, it should not even be there. However, it failed at it own XY chromosome level... so now - it has to try and make itself look good playing amongst the ladies. Not good.MrYnyslas197121-10-2024

- I can imagine van Leuven will indeed be booed out of the building and championship, the crowd will be on his back reminiscent of when Justin Pipe played Phil Taylor. The crowd are usually boisterous and out of control at the best of times.richieburnettrocks21-10-2024
