2022 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.

Despite a small bump in prize money compared to 2021, the singles champion sees a 2% decline in earnings, while all other rounds see increases. For example, players who reach rounds 2 and 3 will see 7% more prize money than last year.

The following tables break down prize money by round since 2007. 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. Unlike most others, the Citi Open in Washington held its 2021 prize money equal to 2019, despite canceling in 2020 due to the pandemic and lower attendance in 2021.

For historical context, the following table outlines the total yearly prize money at the event, starting in 2000. Since then, the prize money has more than doubled.
