Prize money

Prize money for each Players Championship (excluding Australia and Canada) and UK Open Qualifier increased from £29,600 in 2009 to £31,200 in 2010. Prize money for Australian and Canadian Players Championships remained unchanged at £21,600 per event.

Stage	UK/Europe/USA Events	Australia/Canada Events
Second round	£200	£100
Third round	£300	£200
Fourth round	£500	£300
Quarter-finals	£1,000	£700
Semi-finals	£1,500	£1,250
Final	£3,000	£2,500
Winner	£6,000	£5,000

In addition, £400 per Pro Tour event was reserved for a nine-dart finish. Should this not be won in an event, it would be carried over to the next event, and so on until a nine-dart finish is achieved. Once the prize fund is won, it reverted to £400 for the next event.
