Prize money breakdown Swiss Darts Trophy 2024: £175,000 on offer in total

The Swiss Darts Trophy 2024 is scheduled from Friday, September 27 to Sunday, September 29 in Basel. The twelfth European 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. For both groups, however, they must win their opening match at the Swiss Darts Trophy in order for the prize money to count toward the world ranking.

The remaining sixteen participants in Basel 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 Swiss Darts Trophy, a sum of 12,000 pounds awaits. The winner of this Euro Tour tournament goes home with £30,000.

This is the first time the PDC has hosted a tournament in Switzerland. Earlier this year, Euro Tour tournaments were played in Belgium, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Hungary. Later this year, another event will be completed in the Czech Republic.
