Record-breaking $90 Million Prize Pool at U.S. Open 2025

The U.S. Open is making history with a $90 million prize pool for 2025, marking the largest in tennis history. This increase, a 20% rise from 2024's $75 million purse, reflects not only booming attendance but also ongoing calls for more equitable revenue distribution among players.

While top-tier players enjoy increased earnings, there's a push for fairer distribution to benefit players at all levels. This year's changes mean men's and women's singles champions will each take home $5 million, up from $3.6 million last year, with significant hikes across every event round.

The tournament unfolds over 15 days, attracting record-breaking attendance. New in 2025 is a mixed doubles format featuring notable singles players in pre-tournament action, further adding excitement to the events at Flushing Meadows. Last year's event saw U.S. Open attendance surpass one million for the first time.
