US Open 2024: How much money will the players win?

US Open 2024: How much money will the players win?

The US Open begins in New York on Monday – the fourth and final Grand Slam tournament of the year is in many ways the biggest.

The name Wimbledon may be more well-known – and even more prestigious among some fans – but when it comes to the money of the most famous winners, Queen’s is the place to be.

The US Open has the highest individual prize money of all four Grand Slams this year. Players are battling for a share of $75 million in prize money. That’s 15% more than last year. Who earns what and how does it compare to other Grand Slams? This is how it looks.

When does the US Open take place?

The US Open begins on August 26th and runs until September 8th.

How much do the US Open winners for men and women earn?

Both the men’s and women’s champions will earn $3.6 million this year, a 20% increase from last year. Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff are the defending champions. The runners-up will receive $1.8 million.

However, all players who advance to higher rounds can look forward to higher payouts. Those who reach the first round of the main draw will receive $100,000 for the first time, a 23% increase from the 2023 amount. Semifinalists will receive $1 million, while quarterfinalists will earn $530,000.

How much do the US Open doubles champions earn?

The men’s and women’s doubles champions will receive $750,000 to be split between the teams, a 7% increase from 2023.

How much do the US Open mixed doubles champions earn?

The mixed doubles champions come up (relatively) short and receive $200,000. However, that is 17% more than last year.

How do the prize money at the US Open compare to other Grand Slam tournaments?

The amounts vary depending on the tournament. Here’s what the winners took home at the other Grand Slams this year. All amounts are in US dollars.
