World Seniors Matchplay Darts 2024 prize money: How much money can be won in York?
DARTS fans are in for a treat as the World Seniors Matchplay is BACK and the legends will be giving it their all with the amount of prize money up for grabs.
Leonard Gates continued his incredible form at this competition last year by defeating Jim McEwan in a mouthwatering final.
And as a result, the American ace took home a winning share of £10,000.
Gates, 53, will feel confident that he can increase his bank balance once again especially with 16-time darts champion Phil Taylor out of the picture due to health concerns.
However, the likes of two-time back-to-back champion Robert Thornton and the greatest female player of all time Trina Gulliver could have something to say about that.
Find out how much is in the prize pot below.

Why did Phil Taylor withdraw?
Phil Taylor was forced to withdraw from competing after taking medical advice.
On the withdrawal, Taylor said: “Naturally, I am gutted to be missing out on playing in such a big event like the WSDT Seniors World Matchplay.
“I have been leaving no stone unturned in preparation for York.
“But after having hip replacement surgery, I have been feeling pain in the last few weeks, and the consultants have advised against playing this weekend.
“I withdrew from playing in a weekend exhibition in Whitby to give myself every chance for the Matchplay, but I have to be sensible, and take the advice I have been given on board.
“Rest assured, I will be doing everything to be ready and fully fit for the WSDT Seniors World Masters in Sunderland in November.”
