The 2024/25 PDC World Darts Championship will come to an end on Friday night and the best players on the planet are competing for the richest prize in the sport.
This is one of the best events on the British sporting calendar these days, and the winner walks home with a cool six-figure sum plus the Sid Waddel Trophy.
Luke Humphries is the current world champion, but he’s been knocked outGettyThis is a tournament that makes new stars, just ask Luke Littler.
Last year, the then-16-year-old stunned everyone by reaching the final on his debut only to lose 7-4 to Luke Humphries.
Despite that, ‘The Nuke’ became an overnight sensation and will look to go one better this time around to further boost his earnings.
He’s now the major favourite to win the World Championship, with Michael van Gerwen the last man standing in his way.
PDC World Darts Championship: Prize money
The 96 players taking part in this edition of the PDC World Darts Championship at the Alexandra Palace are competing for a huge prize pot worth £2.5million.
Every player who made the event has walked away with a guaranteed £7,500.
From there, the money gradually increases round-by-round until we get to the final four.
The semi-finalists claim £100,000 each.
Whoever finishes as runner-up will take home £200,000, while the winner claims a whopping £500,000.
Humphries managed to change his life by claiming that prize last Christmas but he crashed out of this year’s event in the fourth round.

However, all he is thinking about is the trophy.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, he said: “I just need to reset the batteries and go again tomorrow.
“I felt very confident tonight, and I am glad I am playing with confidence.

“I know where I went wrong last year, and I am sure I will fix it.
“To win would mean everything.”
