Didn't the women's first round losers only win a monkey?

It is an inherent problem throughout the tour.
Semi-Finals in Romania for instance. 125,- Euros.
Low entries = low prize pot. Women just don't play competition darts in great numbers.
365 in Holland next week for the DO.

The change in rules allowed most of the men to try QS with the best ones doing well and moving to the PDC. Whats left are stuck with the BDO and will have to make do with whatever money is offered. No longer any pretence of being a rival to the PDC and no need to offer big prize funds.
That is a fair point. .I don't think he will actually reduce the men's prizes but he is in a much better place should he wish to..or not increase it
With the no restrictions to going to QS he can now say to players you've had a chance to go for the money at the PDC..you either chose not to or you weren't good enough...this is what we've got to offer.

Probably the biggest Women's field in any comp. Entry fees unlikely to be more than 5k Euros. So don't expect a huge prize fund.
