The USTA on Monday announced that the 2025 U.S. Open will once again offer the largest purse in tennis history, becoming the first tennis event to reach $90 million in total player compensation.<\/p>\n

This amount tops the total $75 million in 2024, the previous highest purse in tennis history, an increase of 20%. Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Singles Champions will earn $5 million<\/a>, up 39% from the $3.6 million in 2024, making it the largest winning payout in the sport.<\/p>\n

In addition to the increase for the champions in the Singles Main Draw, finalists ($2.5 million, an increase of 39%), semi-finalists ($1.26 million, an increase of 26%), quarterfinalists ($660,000, an increase of 25%) and Round of 16 competitors ($400,000, an increase of 23%) will all see substantial growth. This follows years of a strategic focus on redistribution to the early rounds and Qualifying Tournament to provide meaningful payouts to all players.<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Doubles purses also are significantly increased in an effort to support the players competing in these championships, up 23% to $4.78 million from $3.89 million in 2024. For the first time ever, the winning teams from the Men\u2019s Doubles, Women\u2019s Doubles and Mixed Doubles Championships will earn $1 million in prize money.<\/p>\n

The Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Qualifying tournaments\u2019 prize money will increase to a record $8 million, up 10% for this year.<\/p>\n

In addition to prize money, as has been the case in recent years, the US Open has made an effort to help reduce out-of-pocket expenses for all competitors in all professional Main Draw and Qualifying events. All players will receive a travel stipend of $1,000, as well as two hotel rooms in the official player hotel (or $600 per day if the player chooses to lodge at another accommodation), resulting in $5 million in overall support. In addition, players will receive free racquet stringing of up to five racquets per round.<\/p>\n
