Winston-Salem Open Prize Money
2024 Breakdown & Historicals
The Winston-Salem Open is an ATP 250 tennis tournament in North Carolina and one of seven US Open series events leading up to the year’s last major in Flushing Meadows, NY, the US Open.
The tournament, which takes place at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex in Winston-Salem, hosts 48 players in singles and 16 teams in doubles. For 2024, organizers are offering the highest-ever prize money at the event of $779,780, a 2% bump over 2023, which is the equivalent of €720,181 and £608,084.
This year, the singles champion will take home $107,060, while the runner-up will pocket a cool $61,435, equating to a 2% increase over what each player received last year in these positions.
In doubles, the winning team will earn $42,120, and the runner-up pair will split a smaller paycheck of $22,050 for their efforts.
Rather than increase specific rounds by more or less than others, the tournament chose a flat 2% increase across the board, so all players, irrespective of round or discipline, receive the same bump. Last year, qualifiers saw an outsized increase, but that changed for 2024.
The remainder of this guide provides a detailed overview and complete breakdown of the Winston-Salem Open’s prize money and historical data for reference and quick comparison.
2024 Full Breakdown
Singles is the bread and butter of the Winston-Salem Open, so organizers distribute 80% of the prize money to the event. In comparison, tournament officials allocate the remaining 20% to doubles.
However, beyond the singles and doubles events, prize money also breaks down by round, increasing the further a player progresses. The following tables summarize this data by year, and you can scroll left to right to view historical numbers.
I’ve also converted prize money to euros and Sterling Pound, 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

Notably, ticket sales, sponsorships, merchandise, and concessions significantly impact the tournament’s financial success, so prize money will typically suffer along with revenue.
