Grand Slam of Darts prize money: How much does the winner earn?

The 2024 Grand Slam of Darts is one of the final major tournaments of the year before the highly-anticipated World Darts Championship, which takes place at Alexandra Palace in London.

Darts fans will pack into the WV Active Aldersley centre in Wolverhampton on Sunday, November 17, as two players battle it out to claim a huge jackpot and the Eric Bristow Trophy.

The Grand Slam of Darts boasts a total prize fund of £650,000, which is unchanged from last year's tournament, with 32 players participating overall. That makes it one of the most lucrative events on the calendar for darts' biggest names such as Luke Humphries and Luke Littler.

The lucky winner will land a huge £150,000 payday if they triumph in the final, while the consolation prize for the loser is slightly less than half that amount - with a guaranteed £70,000 on offer for the runner-up.

Losing semi-finalists take home £50,000 and that figure is halved for the quarter-finalists. Likewise, players who reach the round of 16 stage get £12,250.

Players who finish third in the group get £8,000, with £5,000 for those in last place. The winner of each group pockets a bonus of £3,500.

Additionally, there is a £10,000 bonus on offer to any player who pulls off a nine-dart finish during the tournament. Only six players have ever managed that feat, with Ryan Searle in 2023 the most recent player to be rewarded.

Who will win the Grand Slam of Darts?

Humphries, one of the favourites to claim the title, was surprisingly knocked out in the group stage early on to blow the competition wide open.

The reigning champion was already up against it after losing on day one to Austrian Rowby-John Rodriguez. Humphries was on the stage four hours prior to his clash with James Wade, but his extra preparation made little difference as he fell to a 5-3 defeat against former PDC world champion.

He remains leader of the PDC Order of Merit, which ranks players by their prize money, after banking over £1.7m this year alone.

The 29-year-old is some way clear of Michael Smith (£1.03m) and Michael van Gerwen (£930,000), but will only add a small portion of cash to his overall total after his exit in Wolverhampton.

His friendly rival Littler, the 17-year-old sensation, may well be the new favourite to land the prize after securing his spot in the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam.
