Where the money went, round by round
The five champions took $618,000 between them, 41% of the pot. The players who finished fourth in a group took 7%. The World Tour Finals takes the eight best-placed players or pairs in each discipline, plays two groups of four, and sends the top two of each group to the semi-finals. Every player in it is paid, down to fourth in a group.
Doubles money is paid to the pair. On every player page it is counted half to each partner, so a doubles title here is worth $63,000 to each of them.
