It’d help if the Men’s Lakeside last 32 loser prize money wasn’t the same as the 2026 PC Last 64 loser prize money will be

Both are very prestigious darting events

Prize money still not announcement, but probably the same or no big increases. Should the womens first prize be lowered to give the others more? I can see them keeping it at 25K to attract Beau before, but doubt the 25K will make any difference this year, wether it to attract Beau or others.

It could be a big payday for one lucky lady.

Praying for Nicole.

Big Deta on top in the race table. Might end up ranked #1 again in the general ranking, especially since Beau seems to not playing a lot and for instance will lose 2 wins this weekend since she will be playing at the enemy.
