European Darts Open 2025 prize money: How much can be won in Leverkusen?
LIFTING the European Darts Open trophy will be the main objective on every participant's mind this weekend - but the prize money is a nice added incentive. Dave Chisnall battled through last year's gruelling final before coming out on top 8-6 against Ross Smith. And the Englishman accumulated £30,000 just for winning the showpiece match alone. Fortunately for Chisnall, world number one Luke Humphries, teen sensation Luke Littler and five-time winner Michael van Gerwen have all withdrawn from the tournament. However, the reigning champ will still have to deal with the likes of Stephen Bunting, Peter Wright and Nathan Aspinall. What is the European Darts Open 2025 prize money? The total prize pot for the 2025 European Darts Open is a staggering £175,000. And just like last year, the winner will take home £30,000 of that while the runner-up is set to pocket £12,000 for their troubles. Winner: £30,000 Runner-up: £12,000 Losing semi-finalists x2: £8,500 Losing quarter-finalists x4: £6,000 Third round losers x8: £4,000 Second round losers x16: £2,500 First round losers x16: £1,250 How can I watch the European Darts Open 2025?
