World Darts Championship 2024/25 prize money: How much is up for grabs at Ally Pally?
EVERY darts specialist will be dreaming of starting the new year by lifting the World Championship – and the prize money that comes with it is a nice bonus.
For the first time since 2006, two unseeded players, Luke Littler and Scott Williams, reached the semi-final during the 2023 edition.
But it was the man on the other side of the draw, Luke Humphries, who secured the iconic crown by beating teen sensation Littler 7-4 in what turned out to be a thrilling final.
As a result, Humphries became World No.1 and took home a staggering £500,000.
However, if he is to laugh to the bank once again, he’ll need to fend off the likes of Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith and Littler who will be out for revenge after the recent Players Championship showpiece.

What has been said?
Luke Littler and Luke Humphries are the hottest darts stars in town and the most recent Players Championship Finals proved so.
And Humphries was quick to give his teen rival a lot of credit after beating him in the showpiece match on Sunday, November 24.
Speaking after the match, Humphries said: ‘I’m really, really proud of that one,’ said Humphries. ‘I didn’t feel myself this week, playing-wise, and I felt like I was a dart behind in a lot of the scenarios.
‘But Luke really drives me and makes me want to be a better player and I enjoy playing him. Obviously he let me in early and I never looked back. I’m proud of the way I didn’t take my foot off the gas.
‘In a lot of games this weekend I’ve taken my foot off the gas and allowed people to come back at me.
‘I was very fortunate against Dirk [van Duijvenbode in the semis] but I rode my luck, got into the final and I was in my comfort zone.
‘It was a fantastic game again – his finishes were unbelievable and he’s just a special talent. These big games are what I live for and what I dream of. I travel the world for these moments and I’m really pleased.’
