Prize Money by Year

Every year, prize money changes at the Swiss Open. Although many fans expect it to go up yearly, it drops periodically. For example, in 2021, prize money dropped 20% due to the pandemic and limited crowd capacity to help keep fans at a safe distance from each other.

Primary revenue sources for tennis tournaments include ticket sales, sponsorships, merchandise, and concessions, so when capacity is limited, or the event is slower, prize money often drops. The 2010 edition of the tournament was only a challenger, so there wasn’t prize money.

The following table outlines the yearly prize money offered at the Swiss Open since 2000, which has seen several increases in recent years leading up to the pandemic.
