£500 to the winner!?

Someone in the comments claiming it used to be £2k. No idea if he is right or not but £500 is a pittance.

.

Wow, a 75% reduction in three years.

**BDO gonna grow x**

Losing semi finalists only get a ton.

A monkey? One of the ladies will get £7500 by winning the PDC WC playoff in MK.
The divide gets more of a yawning chasm by the day,

Placeholder for someone to use the post above for a Paula Jacklin joke.

Finnish open being stopped because it loses money, other tournaments around the world being cancelled or being threatened of cancellation (unless Paula has entere) so promoters offering realistic prize money they can afford.
It's sad but not unexpected.

Was an extra new event started about 4-5 years ago. Perhaps a bit optimistic. Should be binned now.

You didn't realise this was all discussed last week then? Check the Lakeside thread.

Had no idea. The pitiful fund though deserves it's own thread.

Anyway, someone can post the results in this one...

I see Hankey lost the 2015 final with a 64 average.
Must have been late in the day.
