PDC increases World Championship prize money to £1m

The total prize money at all PDC events will rise by £7m to £25m, which also includes an increase from £275,000 to £350,000 to the winner of the Premier League.

The World Grand Prix, Players Championship Finals, European Championship and the UK Open will all see their prize funds increased alongside the World Cup of Darts and World Series of Darts.

Outside of the professional tour, the PDC has increased its funding for the Challenge Tour, Development Tour and its Women’s Series events, with £40,000 available for the Women’s World Matchplay.

Littler, 18, was crowned world champion at Alexandra Palace in January to become the tournament’s youngest winner.

He is also top of the Premier League standings with four wins so far in 2025.
