This weekend, the US Darts Masters 2024 is scheduled to take place at the iconic sports venue Madison Square Garden in New York. The prize pool for this event includes 60,000 pounds.
At the US Darts Masters, eight PDC players will compete with eight North American darters for the title. The field of participants includes Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith and Luke Littler, as well as local stars such as Jeff Smith, Jules van Dongen and Matt Campbell.
The winner of this World Series tournament will go home with a cheque for 20,000 pounds. The runner-up will receive 10,000 pounds. All 16 participants are guaranteed £1,250 in prize money anyway.
The prize money does not count toward the PDC Order of Merit, nor does it count toward the World Series of Darts Order of Merit. Instead, players can also earn points for the World Series of Darts rankings.
All participants in a World Series tournament are guaranteed one point for the World Series Order of Merit. This number increases to three points upon reaching the quarterfinals, and then to five points for a semifinal place. The losing finalist receives eight points and the winner receives 12 points.
Winner: £20,000
Runner-up: £10,000
Semi-finalists: £5000
Quarter-finalists: £2500
