As well as crucial PDC ranking points, there is also a huge cash incentive for players to reach the latter stages of this year's Grand Slam of Darts.
An expanded 48-player field will toe the oche at WV Active Aldersley this month, including pre-tournament favourite Luke Littler, who is hoping to join Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen in becoming just the third player to reel off three successive victories in the event.
As a consequence of the addition of 16 players this year, there is bumper £1 million up for grabs in Wolverhampton -- an increase in the overall prize pool of £350,000 from last year.
The winner of the 2026 staging of the Grand Slam of Darts will pocket a handsome £200,000, up from £150,000 12 months ago, whilst even the 16 players who finish bottom of their groups are guaranteed £5,000.
Prize money rises significantly the deeper in the tournament a player progresses, with £12,500 the reward for finishing second in the group and £20,000 allocated to the 16 players who bow out in the last 16.
Beaten quarter-finalists will take land a £35,000 pay cheque while the two losing semi-finalists will take home £60,000, £40,000 less than the runner-up's share of £100,000.
The winner of this year's Grand Slam of Darts, as previously mentioned, will be awarded a bumper paycheck to the tune of £200,000!
