What this is
The Worlds prize pool over time: $0.5m in 2015 and 2019, over $1m in 2023 (weakly sourced), over $2m in 2024, and $2.0m in 2025 and 2026.
How it’s built
- Assembled from the organiser's announcements and press reports for each year.
What we assumed
- Announced pools, not amounts paid.These are totals as announced; payouts by place are not added up.
- The 2023 figure is weak.It rests on a single press report.
Sanity check
A fourfold rise from 2019 to 2024, then flat.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
