US Darts Masters 2026 Prize Money explained: How much can Luke Littler, Luke Humphries earn for winning title at Madison Square Garden?

The US Darts Masters is set for its return between 25-26 June, 2026. It will feature 16 players vying for £100,000 in total prize money, with £30,000 for the winner.

Luke Littler will lead the US Darts Masters field, but he does not lead the Order of Merit, with Michael van Gerwen, the champion in Bahrain and also Copenhagen leading. But Van Gerwen won't play in the US this time around or Australia/New Zealand. But neither will Littler and Luke Humphries who also lead the field. MVG next plays on the World Series at Amsterdam defending his Finals title. Luke Humphries will be the defending champion, having defeated Nathan Aspinall 8–6 in the 2025 final.

As well as these top names, it is Gian van Veen who makes his New York debut alongside familiar faces including Gerwyn Price, Stephen Bunting, Jonny Clayton and Josh Rock out of the Premier League line-up.

James Wade also continues to get spots in the World Series of Darts tournaments after he was snubbed for the Premier League earlier in the year. Others to qualify as North American representatives are Jim Long who gets in as the only current North American Tour Card holder.

While Alex Spellman who won the Continental Cup gets a spot. As does Cross Border Challenge winner David Cameron. Leonard Gates, former UK Open finalist Gary Mawson as well as Fred Krueger and the top ranked American and Canadians in Adam Sevada and Brayden Hall.

While the Prize Money for the World Series of Darts Finals has increased from £400,000 to £450,000 for this next season, this is not the case for the main events in the year. The winner will claim £30,000 for sealing the title, while it will be £16,000 for the runner-up. Semi-finalists receive £10,000. While Quarter-Finals also known as the second round is £5,000.

First round losers receive £1,750. Order of Merit points wise, these go towards the World Series of Darts Finals which will take place in Amsterdam in November. Unlike Saudi Arabia which had the nine-dart bonus and also the Riyadh Season Bullseye, the further events do not have that.
