The US Open recently announced a huge increase in the prize money, with the total player compensation rising to $90 million, which is a $15 million increase from 2024. The New York Major will offer considerably more prize money than any other Grand Slam.
Comparing US Open 2025’s Prize Purse to That of Other Grand Slams
The total prize purse for this year’s US Open is $90 million, which is almost $30 million more than that of the Australian Open (~$62.7 million), almost $25 million more than that of the French Open (~$65.7 million), and almost $20 million more than that at Wimbledon (~$71.5 million).
The winners of the singles event at the New York Major will each win a mammoth $5 million, which is $1.4 million more compared to 2024. It is also considerably higher than what the winners were awarded at the other Grand Slams. In fact, the Australian Open singles champions were paid less than half of this amount.
