The Wimbledon 2024 prize money showcases some rather eye-watering numbers. Then again, as a Grand Slam event, the financials involved are understandably huge. This means the players competing are shooting for a hefty payday – especially in the singles tournaments! We’re not talking a few quid either; we’re talking hundreds of thousands.
Furthermore, as is usually the case due to things like inflation and tournament expansions, the Wimbledon 2024 prize money boasts record-breaking figures. Following an increase of close to 12% on the prize money from 2023, the total prize pool for 2024 is £50 million. This is split between the different events proportionately, of course, and I’d like to get into the specifics of that now.
Wimbledon 2024 prize money – men’s and women’s singles
While the collective prize pool has increased by close to 12% for 2024, the singles events have received an even greater boost. With close to £18 million of the prize pool reserved for each of the singles tournaments, this is where the most money is distributed. As for the specifics of the Wimbledon 2024 prize money for each round, I’ve listed this below:
- Winner: £2,700,000
- Runner-Up: £1,400,000
- Semi-Finalists: £715,000
- Quarter-Finalists: £375,000
- Fourth Round: £226,000
- Third Round: £143,000
- Second Round: £93,000
- First Round: £60,000
Wimbledon 2024 prize money – the doubles events
After recovering from the figures mentioned above, things are a little calmer for the doubles events. However, it’s not like the doubles competitors are playing for pennies. As the following list confirms, the pairings that make it to the latter stages still receive a large sum:
- Winners: £650,000
- Runners-Up: £330,000
- Semi-Finalists: £167,000
- Quarter-Finalists: £84,000
- Third Round: £42,000
- Second Round: £25,000
- First Round: £15,750
The total financial commitment for the Wimbledon doubles 2024 events is £5,780,000. This shows an 11.90% increase from 2023 to 2024, which is substantial.
