Mexican Open prize money

The Mexican Open put $2,469,450 up for 2026, an ATP 500 played on hard courts in Acapulco from 23 to 28 February. The singles champion took $461,835 and a player beaten in the first round $19,260.

A player is paid once, for the round they went out in. The figure is the whole of it rather than a step on the way to it, so somebody who lost in the last eight took $67,655 and not that plus every round beneath it. Add the six figures up as a ladder and the champion alone would be on $965,770, against the $461,835 the tournament actually pays.

The $461,835 for winning it is the biggest line in the tournament, and it goes to one player. The first round is the next, 16 players on $19,260 each for $308,160. That is the opposite of a major, where the round that costs the most is the one everybody loses in.
