Prize Money by Year

Every year, tournament officials adjust prize money. Often, you’ll see increases, but that’s not always the case. Since 2000, eight times, including this year’s bump over 2021.

Revenue for the Hamburg European Open comes from various avenues, including ticket sales, sponsorships, merchandise, and concessions, so the success of the prior year’s tournament heavily influences prize money.

Notably, in 2020 the global pandemic set prize money back significantly. Although the tournament is one of the few that didn’t cancel that year, lower ticket sales resulted in 38% lower prize money.

As you review the following data, you’ll notice a significant decline in prize money from 2008 to 2009. That’s because the tournament lost its Masters 1000 status in 2008, so organizers adjusted the prize money accordingly.
