Prize Money Announcement March 2025: "...will put a lot of smiles..."

[The Thorn]

We should give PDC some credit for this

[oche balboa]

Agreed.

[shenmue]

I agree as well oche

[Randall]

The Matchplay being worth 1/5 of the worlds sits badly with me

[The Thorn]

Right utter fucking bollocks nonsense

[willem0000]

Should have never named the trophy after handsy Phil

I wonder if Lakey can offer 25K for Beau again, she might otherwise choose Ally Pally. Although there is a chance that because of the 128, more ladies getting a spot, essentially making it more easier for Beau to win Lakeside. She does love becomming WC, but if its lowered to 20K PDC will probably be the better choice. Would make Lakeside also more interesting.

It's about a sensational headline but will totally skew the ranking system.
Time for a ranking system separate to money?

[Rogg]

The Worlds has 4 times as many players as the Matchplay.

[Randall]

The Worlds has 4 times as many players as the Matchplay.

Extra jobbers

[The Thorn]

The Worlds has 4 times as many players as the Matchplay.

Clearly proves Matchplay is the superior tournament

Quality over quantity

Or just do it the old-fashioned way and play well at the biggest event of the year.

[The Thorn]

PDC will be at fault for Luke Littler diabetes and health complications with the prize money they are throwing at him

Meanwhile low ranked card holders such as Bradley Brooks can barely sustain themselves
