The 2025 World Darts Championship is reaching its climax, with Michael van Gerwen, Chris Dobey, Luke Littler, and Stephen Bunting vying for the title and a share of the lucrative prize money.
The 2025 World Darts Championship is nearing its conclusion at Alexandra Palace, with substantial prize money at stake for the victor. Thursday night's semi-finals pit Michael van Gerwen against Chris Dobey and Luke Littler against Stephen Bunting. Bookmakers anticipate van Gerwen and Dobey advancing to a championship showdown, pitting the three-time champion against last year's runner-up, who seeks to become the youngest ever winner at 17.
Dobey and Bunting aim to disrupt these predictions and secure the top prize. All four players have already guaranteed substantial earnings during their North London tournament. The champion, crowned on January 3rd, will receive £500,000 and the prestigious Sid Waddell Trophy. The runner-up will take home £200,000, as Littler did after losing to Luke Humphries in last year's final. Losing semi-finalists will receive £100,000 for their top-four finishes. Quarter-final appearances are worth £50,000, last-16 exits like defending champion Humphries' are worth £35,000, and reaching the last 32 earns £25,000. The last 64 is worth £15,000, while first-round losers receive £7,500. This substantial prize money significantly rewards players like Matt Campbell and Jim Long, who secured £7,500 despite losing in the opening round
