World Youth Championship 2025 Prize Money explained - how much can Beau Greaves or Gian van Veen earn for sealing title?
PDCSunday, 23 November 2025 at 22:12
The World Youth Championship Final will take place on Sunday, 23 November 21.00 hours in Minehead, and will see Beau Greaves and Gian van Veen go head-to-head for the title in one of the most hotly anticipated games all weekend.
Say all weekend as it takes place during the Players Championship Finals - the so-called season closer before the PDC World Darts Championship which then begins on 11 December and the former sees the top 64 from the ProTour duke it out over the course of the weekend for the title and is based solely on the floor events.
Van Veen given his form on TV including winning the European Championship could feasibly be playing back-to-back as the World Youth final takes place between the semi-finals and the final on the Sunday. While Greaves does not play in the main tournament as she was not part of the top 64 on the ProTour. She did play on the floor in 2025 but only partially as a top up member from the Challenge Tour before declining other chances to play so she is only going for one match.
That match was set up at the World Youth Championship initial rounds. Greaves famously upset Luke Littler in the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship with a 105 average winning 6-5 to set her spot. Littler had gone from Leicester at the World Grand Prix to play the event in Wigan which was criticised due to him being now the World No.1 and the top player in the sport to many at the time. But Greaves paid heed to that anyway.
She faces Van Veen who has now been in three finals in a row. he lost to Littler back in 2023 before avenging that in 2024 against Jurjen van der Velde. Both also have a Grand Slam spot sealed through this route too albeit the World Championship spot will go to qualifiers on Monday as both are already qualified multiple times.
The prize money went up in 2024 and is unchanged for this year's tournament. It sees £12,000 for the winner and £6,000 for the runner-up with an overall prize pool of £100,000. For those in the previous stages, it is £3,000 for the semi-finalists, Quarter-Finalists seal £2,000. While for reaching the Last 16, it is £1,500.
For finishing fourth in the initial round robin, it was £250. Third was £400 so all to play for in the case of Greaves and Van Veen this weekend.

- Congratulations Deta, champion at last. Although I was really hoping Sophie was going to win. Deta had a tough route to the final and a deserved Champion after soooooo many attempts.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Congratulations Zehra, an excellent performance, 3-0 was harsh on Rebecca, she played well and actually won a decent trophy better than what Zehra won. I think it is extremely poor and insulting that the girls prize money is half of what the boys win. At that level it should be equal, girls wanting to take up darts will see the injustice of winnings and could think twice about taking up the sport. Ultimately, winning is the only thing that matters, but I would be vocal about prize money if the female equivalent was double the amount.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Having been at Lakeside all week, I am glad it's over. It is not the same and the atmosphere is completely flat. Ultimately, I think they should reduce the format for the men, just make it 32 not 64. It's very long winded and completely rushed and compacted towards the last few days. Mitchell is an excellent player but had to play a 6 set boys final just hours before his 9 set mens final. If the whole competition was spread out he would have not been forced to play 2 major finals in an afternoon, it is ridiculous and Sophie McKinlay had the same situation last year.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
