The 2023 US Open will award $65 million in total player compensation for the first time, over 8% increase from last year’s $60 million. The prize money model strives to provide all players with significant payouts, regardless of when they lose at the tournament. What’s more, the Grand Slam is celebrating 50th anniversary from becoming the first sporting event in history to offer equal prize money to men and women.
Players who are eliminated from the Round of 128 in the main draw singles will now be granted $81,500, marking a substantial 44% rise compared to the $58,000 awarded in 2019.
