How has the World Darts Championship prize money grown?
After splitting in darts, Dennis Priestley won his first PDC World Darts Championship in 1994 and claimed the £16,000 top prize for beating Phil Taylor at the famous Circus Tavern.
The jackpot actually dropped the following year to just £12,000, won by Taylor, and fluctuated in the following years, but eventually rose to £100,000 in 2006.
There have been big jumps since then, jumping to £200,000 in 2010, £300,000 in 2016, then increasing to the current figure of £500,000 in 2019.
Before the PDC (formerly WDC) came into existence, the BDO World Championship crowned the undisputed world champion, beginning in 1978 when Leighton Rees won £3,000 for his victory.
The 1993 BDO World Championship, the last before the split, saw John Lowe win £30,000 thanks to his victory over Alan Wariner in the final at Lakeside.
