The US Open will offer a record $75 million in player compensation this year, with first-round prize money reaching $100,000 per player for the first time.
Early-round increases announced by the USTA cover both qualifying and the main draw of the hard-court Grand Slam in New York. The figure of $100,000 for reaching the first round is an increase of 72 per cent from five years ago, when it was $58,000. Those who lose in the final round of qualifying will this year take home $52,000, an increase of 63 per cent from when it was $32,000 in 2019.
There have also been increases in prize money for those players that go deep into the tournament. The men's and women's singles champions in New York will each receive $3.6 million, a 20 per cent increase from 2023. The singles finalists will earn $1,800,000.
The men's doubles and women's doubles championship teams will claim $750,000 per team. There has been a nine per cent increase in the total prize money for the men’s and women’s doubles draws from last year.
The year's fourth and final major, the US Open will be played at Flushing Meadows from 26 August-8 September.
