The winner of the 2025 World Darts Championship will receive £500,000, while the runner-up will receive £200,000. Michael van Gerwen secured his spot in the final after defeating Chris Dobey.
The prize money for the winner and runner-up of the 2025 World Darts Championship has been revealed. The winner will receive £500,000, while the runner-up will receive £200,000. Michael van Gerwen became the first player through to the final after beating Chris Dobey 6-1 in the semi-final. A strong run at the World Championship can be crucial, as all prize money is added to a player’s ranking on the two-year Order of Merit system.
While he would have previously been automatically qualified for most major tournaments, his surprise second round defeat to Kevin Doets at Ally Pally means he is outside of the top 16 heading into 2025. PDC professional Matthew Edgar revealed last month that players don’t actually receive their full prize money at the end of the World Championship.: “Two per cent is your PDC levy - that comes off everything before you even get it, and comes from playing on the Challenge Tour to being world champion. “We all pay two per cent on our prize money before we even get it. Not only that, you’ve got to consider your membership fees. £500 is your membership, which goes before you even get it. That’s a once a year fee, and your DRA fee as well. “I’ve got to deduct travel, my hotel and any other costs with that. Then, the money that is left is open to tax.
