PDCWednesday, 01 January 2020 at 19:15
The prize money has been released ahead of the 2020 PDC World Darts Championship and it will stay the same compared to last year with £2,500,000 up for grabs.
The winner of the PDC World Darts Championship will claim £500,000; which as Rob Cross showed with a lesser figure is life changing and thrust him right into the foray at the top of the rankings.
Runner-up will get £200,000; while semi-finalists both get £100,000 for their efforts if they bow out at this stage.
For Quarter-Finalists, it is £50,000 and the prize fund itself as usual goes all the way down to the first round losers.
They will get £7,500 for losing out in the first round and £15,000 for a second round defeat. This for some players who are currently teetering on the edge of keeping their Tour Cards but have snuck into the World Championship could prove pivotal in terms of going to Q-School or not.

- 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
