This video covers the announcement from the PDC about the HUGE 40% increase in prize money for the 2018/19 World Darts Championship from the Ally Pally.

The PDC website says .......

THE PDC are delighted to announce a huge 40% increase in William Hill World Darts Championship prize money for the 2018/2019 tournament, where a £2.5 million prize fund will be on offer including a record-breaking £500,000 to the eventual champion.

The 2017/2018 World Championship was an unprecedented success as 68,000 fans from around the world packed London's Alexandra Palace throughout 15 days of action.

Rob Cross became the eventual World Champion on New Year's Day as he scooped the £400,000 top prize - the highest individual prize in the sport's history - by defeating Phil Taylor in the final.

Next year's total prize money will increase by £700,000 from £1.8 million to £2.5 million, while the winner's cheque goes up by £100,000 to £500,000.

The PDC will be confirming an expanded field for the World Championship later this year, to include more global qualifying tournaments in an effort to continue the growth of the game around the world.
