CrossFit prize money
218 athletes have been paid £13,250,683 across 11 editions from 2015 to 2025. Tia-Clair Toomey has won the most, £1,916,745. The Games pay one fixed ladder by final place, alike to the men and the women. It paid the top twenty until 2022, when it went forty deep, and in 2025 the purse was cut to little more than half, with second place paid a fifth of what the winner took rather than two fifths. Each event also pays its top finishers, which is money for an event rather than a final place, so it is not in these tables.
