2025 US Open Prize Money Revealed

There’s USD$90 million (AUD$138 million) worth of prize money on the line at the 2025 US Open. That’s an increase of 20% from 2024’s $75 million, making it the largest purse in tennis history.

While the tennis season starts with a pretty deep pot at the Australian Open (AUD$96.5 million), the purse at the US Open is on another level. Singles winners will take home USD$5,000,000 (AUD$7,660,000) or more than twice the amount of money they win for winning at the Australian Open (AUD$3,500,000). Proving that it does pay to play at the top of your game, something that Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, and Jimmy Connors have both proven by winning the tournament a record five times each.

Importantly, prize money for men and women is equal, and has been since the 1970s. That means the winner of both women’s and men’s Singles will earn the same USD$5,000,000, while the winner of the women’s and men’s Doubles will earn less at USD$1,000,000 (AUD$1,530,000) per team. Still, even those that don’t make it out of the Round of 128 will comfortably cover the cost of hiring their private jet. Let’s take a closer look at how much players earn at the 2025 US Open, according to the official information provided by the tournament.
