The 2025 U.S. Open will be the richest Grand Slam tennis tournament in history with $85 million in prize money, organizers announced Wednesday.
That marks a 21 percent increase over last year's $70 million and also exceeds the prize pools from the season's first three majors: Wimbledon ($72.7 million), French Open ($65.4) and Australian Open ($62.9).
The men's and women's singles champions in New York will each receive $5 million, a 39 percent increase from last year. The runners-up will each take home $2.5 million, while the winning doubles teams will each earn $1 million.
Anyone who qualifies for the main draw, which begins on Aug. 24 and runs through Sept. 7, will receive $110,000, up 10 percent from 2024.
'This follows years of a strategic focus on redistribution to the early rounds and qualifying tournament to provide meaningful payouts to all players,' the U.S. Tennis Association said in a statement.
The total compensation pool for players, including money for hotel and food costs, is $90 million. That's up from $75 million in 2024.
The defending singles champions are Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus and Jannik Sinner of Italy.
