How much money Luke Littler will take home if he wins World Darts Championship title
PRIZE money is not Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler’s main motivation for winning, but staggering earnings are on the line in tonight’s PDC World Darts Championship Final.
Eye-popping amounts of cash rewards are up for grabs in darts competitions at the top level, but none more so than in the sport’s greatest event – with Warrington 17-year-old Littler meeting Dutch star Michael van Gerwen in the blockbuster decider at Alexandra Palace in London.
In a total prize fund of £2.5m, even those who started out in the final 96 were set to take home a minimum £7,500.
Tonight’s finalists will benefit most, as you would expect.
Win or lose, a handsome financial enhancement will appear in Littler’s and Van Gerwen’s bank account this evening.
The winner will take home a cool £500,000, while the runner-up will collect £200,000.
Littler simply loves playing the game and winning trophies - the earnings that come with it is the cherry on the top!
