Wimbledon confirms record £50m prize money on offer at this year’s championships

The prize pot for this year’s Wimbledon has increased by 11.9 per cent to total £50m, just short of the Grand Slam record set at last year’s US Open.

The total prize pot at the 2023 US Open was £50.8m ($65m), meaning Wimbledon — despite its £50m being an All England Lawn Tennis Club record — is just below that but above the figures of around £45m that the Australian Open and French Open offered this year. The US Open has not yet confirmed its prize money structure for this year’s event, which begins in late August.

The singles champions at this year’s Wimbledon will receive £2.7m each, with the runners-up each getting £1.4m. That £2.7m is higher than the £2.3m that the singles winners at the US Open received last year, and is more than what the champions are awarded in Melbourne (£1.64m) and at Roland Garros (£2.03m).
