Houston Prize Money
2025 Breakdown & Historicals
The US Men’s Clay Court Championship is an ATP 250 tournament hosted at the River Oaks Country Club in Houston, TX.
The event, which first opened its doors in 1910, is unique on the ATP calendar because it’s the only tournament in the United States played on clay courts as it has since its inception.
In 2025, the US Men’s Clay Court Championship’s total prize money reaches its highest at $680,140, translating to €628,636 and £525,622. This sum is a 3% increase over last year, which is on par with other events in the series.
The winner of the 28-draw singles tournament will take home a fair share of the purse at $103,455, which equates to €95,876 and £80,133, while the runner-up will claim a solid payday of $60,350 or €55,929 and £46,745 for his efforts. These figures both represent a 2.8% increase year over year.
The champions will split $35,980, €33,340, and £27,869 on the doubles side. The team finishing in the runner-up position will win roughly half that amount: $19,330, €17,912, and £14,973.
The following sections provide a detailed breakdown of the prize money for quick reference and comparison, including currency conversion to euros and pounds sterling.
Full Breakdown
Like most tournaments on the ATP Tour, the US Men’s Clay Court Championship’s organizers distribute roughly 80% of prize money to the singles event. The remaining 20% supports the 16-team doubles event.
In both disciplines, a player or team progressing further through the tournament will increase their winnings substantially. For example, a player who exits the quarterfinal in singles earns 181% more than a player who loses in the first round.
For easy review, I’ve summarized the US Men’s Clay Court Championship’s prize money by round for singles and doubles and converted earnings to euros and pounds sterling, which I calculated using the prior year’s exchange rate on the day of the final for a close approximation of value.
