Josh Rock Insists He Doesn’t Care About £1 Million Prize Money and Has Only One Thing on His Mind
Josh Rock has delivered a bold message ahead of the biggest stretch of his career, insisting he’s not motivated by the eye-watering £1 million prize money on offer — and that just one thing drives him every time he steps on stage.
The 23-year-old sensation, already one of the most naturally gifted throwers in the PDC, says financial rewards are irrelevant compared to what he truly wants: lifting major titles.
“Money means nothing — I only care about winning”
Speaking with refreshing honesty, Rock made it clear that the record-breaking prize pool at upcoming tournaments isn’t what fuels him.
“Honestly, the money doesn’t matter to me,” Rock said.
“I don’t even think about it. All I want in my mind is winning — trophies, titles, big moments. That’s what I play for.”
While many players openly admit that darts has changed their lives financially, Rock insists his hunger comes from ambition, not bank balance.
Laser-focused and building momentum
Rock, who continues to rise up the rankings with consistent performances, believes he’s entering the best form of his career. His scoring power and fearless approach have made him a dangerous opponent in any draw.
Insiders say his current mentality — ruthless and tunnel-visioned — could make him one of the biggest threats in the upcoming majors.
A refreshing attitude in a big-money era
With prize funds climbing higher every year and the sport attracting more global attention, Rock’s comments have struck a chord with fans who admire his old-school mindset.
One supporter posted:
“You can’t teach that hunger. Rock’s a throwback — all about winning, nothing else.”
Another added:
“You can see how badly he wants it. Money will come anyway if you’re that good.”
Eyes only on the trophy
Rock says the pressure of chasing titles is something he embraces, not fears.
“I want to be a world champion. I want to be remembered. That’s what drives me. If I win the big ones, everything else takes care of itself.”
With that mentality, fans and pundits believe it’s only a matter of time before Rock breaks through and secures the first major of his career.
And if his words are anything to go by, the £1 million?
That’s just background noise.
