Citi Open, Washington Prize Money
2024 Breakdown & Historicals
Held annually since 1969 in Rock Creek Park, the Washington Open, otherwise known as the Citi Open, is one of 13 ATP 500 tournaments held annually across the globe.
The hard court tournament is one of seven US Open series events culminating in August at the US Open in Flushing Meadows, NY. Held alongside the ATP tournament, there’s also a WTA 500 event for fans to enjoy.
For 2024, the Citi Open’s total prize money is $2,100,230, which translates to €1,956,112 and £1,649,920, a nominal 4% increase over the prior year’s event, but the largest purse on record for the tournament.
The singles champion will earn $368,585 for his efforts, while the runner-up will take home $196,580, representing a 4% jump for the champ and his opponent.
In doubles, the winning pair will walk away with $129,010, and the runner-up will split $68,800, a 4% increase for both.
The total prize money for the women’s event takes a giant leap to $922,573 because the tournament is now a WTA 500. Previously, it was a WTA 250 event, and with the status change, they hope to draw bigger names.
As a result, the lady’s champion will earn $142,000, while the runner-up will claim $87,655, which along with the massive increase in overall prize money, represents an impressive 18% improvement for both.
You can find a complete breakdown of the Citi Open’s prize money in the following tables with historical data for reference and comparison.

2024 Full Breakdown
At a high level, the tournament distributes 80% of the prize money to singles and 20% to doubles. Both disciplines see increases in prize money as a player advances.
All rounds for the ATP and WTA tournaments see prize money increases, with roughly a 4% increase across the board on the men’s side and a minimum of a 133% increase per round for the lady’s event.
The following tables break down prize money by round since 2007 for the men and 2019 for the women. To view historical data, scroll left to right.
For comparison, I’ve converted US dollars to Euros and Sterling pounds, which I calculate using the prior year’s exchange rate on the day of the final for a close approximation of value.

Prize Money by Year
Every year, tournament officials set their prize money, which may increase or decrease due to various factors, including the success of the prior year’s event.
Nearly all tournaments see the vast majority of their revenue through ticket sales, sponsorships, merchandise, and concessions, so if they have a down year, it can impact prize money. In recent years, the Citi Open in Washington has had a positive track record, holding or increasing prize money steadily.
For historical context, the following table outlines the total yearly prize money at the event, starting in 2000 for men and 2011 for women. Since then, the prize money has more than doubled on both sides.
