The World Darts Championship final features big cash prizes for the winner and runner-up, with a total prize pool of £2.5 million
London: The World Darts Championship final is set to be an exciting showdown between Michael Van Gerwen and Luke Littler at Ally Pally.
These two darting stars are not just competing for the title; there’s a hefty amount of cash at stake too.
Both players had impressive semi-final wins, taking down their opponents 6-1. Van Gerwen beat Chris Dobey, while Littler took care of Stephen Bunting.
For Littler, this is his second shot at the championship after making a splash last year. He lost to Luke Humphries in 2024, so he’s eager to go further this time. Van Gerwen, on the other hand, is aiming for his first WDC title since 2019.
Now, let’s talk about the prize money. The winner will walk away with a whopping £500,000, while the runner-up will take home £200,000.
The total prize pool for the tournament is £2.5 million, which is pretty impressive.
Plus, there’s more cash from sponsors like Paddy Power. If a player scores a nine-dart finish, they can share £60,000, with part of that going to Prostate Cancer UK and a lucky fan in the crowd.
Paddy Power also donates £1,000 to Prostate Cancer UK every time a player hits a 180. So, there’s a lot to play for!
