CINCINNATI OPEN · PRIZE MONEY · 2026

Cincinnati Open prize money

Cincinnati puts up $16,848,801 across the two tours and does not divide it evenly: $9,415,725 for the men and $7,433,076 for the women, played on the same courts in the same fortnight. The men's champion took $1,151,380 and the women's $1,085,220.

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 $193,645 and not that plus every round beneath it. Add the eight figures up as a ladder and the champion alone would be on $2,525,585, against the $1,151,380 the ATP and the WTA actually pays.

Second round is the biggest line in the tournament at $1,155,520, and it is 32 players on $36,110 each rather than one on $1,151,380. That is the shape a rate card hides: the further down the draw a round sits, the more people it pays and the more it costs.

What the fund adds up to

The Cincinnati Open announced $16,848,801. The draws on this page account for $15,963,126 of it, and we do not hold the remaining $885,675 round by round. Every figure above is a rate that was paid: what one player in that round was handed.

  • The two champions are $66,160 apart. The two first-round losers are $8,075 apart, which sounds smaller and is not: the man is paid half as much again as the woman.
  • The gap runs through the doubles as well. The winning men's pair splits $468,200 and the winning women's pair $379,080, $89,120 apart.
  • Qualifying pays the men $14,130 and $7,330 for the two rounds, and the women $12,390 and $6,505.
