This is the prize money at the World Darts Championship
Winner: £500,000
Losing finalist: £200,000
Semifinalists: £100,000
Quarter-finalists: £50,000
Fourth round: 35,000 pounds
Third round: 25,000 pounds
Second round: 15,000 pounds
First round: 7500 lbs
If the top prize of £500,000 isn’t enough for the darts players, which we doubt, the hefty bonus that comes with throwing not one but two nine-dart finishes might provide some extra motivation. If a player manages to deliver two perfect legs, he or she can count on another 100,000 pounds (over 115 thousand euros). It will be difficult, because in the history of the World Cup no one has yet managed to achieve that feat.

Phil Taylor at a lonely height
With fourteen titles is the retired Phil Taylor at a lonely height. The English legend has won fourteen PDC titles. That is no less than eleven more than Michael van Gerwenwho comes closest to ‘The Power’ with three world titles.
Raymond van Barneveld Although he is a five-time world champion, he won four of those world titles at the then competing darts association BDO. De Hagenaar won his only PDC title in 2007, by beating Taylor 7-6 in an epic final battle.
