WTT TOUR · 22 EVENTS

WTT Champions prize money

22 events between 2022 to 2026 , with $40,000 to the champion at the richest of them. A 32-player draw with no doubles and no qualifying, which is why the singles cheque runs so far ahead of the Contender below it.

The tour is a ladder, and this is one rung of it. What separates the rungs is not the format or the field: it is the cheque, and the gap between one tier and the next is wider than the gap between winning and losing a final at either of them.
