How Much Prize Money Each Player Win In US Open, Round By Round?
A $65 million total prize fund will be awarded in the 2023 US Open, an impressive eight percent rise from the previous year.
The prize money for the 2023 US Open will significantly increase. Coinciding with the anniversary of 50 years of equal prize money, the New York Grand Slam announced a record for its prize fund.
The prize pool for male and female contestants was the same in this competition for the first time in 1973, making it a big event. This accomplishment is awe-inspiring because the winners of the championships fifty years ago only won $25,000 apiece, making up a payout of only $100,000.
Tennis legend Billie Jean King said,
“Fifty years ago, people probably went, ‘Huh? What? The women are going to make as much as the guys?’ This is a huge event to do that. It starts to change the hearts and minds of people.”
“People think there’s money in women now. That’s why they’re buying soccer teams. That’s why they’re buying basketball teams. That’s why they’re really investing now. There’s no question the values have gone way up. People think it’s a good investment. That never used to happen, at least in women’s sports. “
