From 15 December 2022 to 3 January 2023, the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship is scheduled to take place at Alexandra Palace in London. As much as £2,500,000 in prize money will be distributed during this tournament.
The 96 participants in the main tournament will receive a minimum of £7500 in prize money, with a win in the first round increasing this amount to 15,000. So the top-32 seeded players, who storm in from the second round, are already guaranteed this amount.
Reaching the third round already earns £25,000, the earned prize money rises to £35,000 on reaching the last sixteen. The quarter-finalists will get £50,000 credited to their bank accounts anyway, while a place in the semi-finals earns one tonne. The losing finalist takes home £200,000. The new world champion gets a cheque for £500,000.
