Tennis: record prize money of £50m (€59.2m) for Wimbledon 2024, an increase of 1.8%

The prize money for the 2024 edition of the Wimbledon Grand Slam, scheduled to run from 01 to 14/07/2024, is a record £50m (€59.2m as of 13/06/2024), an increase of 11.8% on 2023 (£44.7m) and 35.1% on 2019 (£37m), according to the tournament's organisers, the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), on 13/06/2024.

"During the last 10 years, total prize money for The Championships has doubled, from £25m in 2014 to £50m in 2024," said the AELTC. Despite this record amount for the London-based tournament, the prize money is still less than that allocated by the organisers of the US Open in 2023 ($65m/€60.7m).

The winners of the Wimbledon men's and women's singles tournaments will take home £2.7m (€3.2m, up 15% on 2023), the singles finalists £1.4m (€1.65m, up 19.1%), while the doubles winners (men and women) will receive £650,000 (€770,400, up 8.3%). The prize money for players eliminated in the first round of singles has increased by 9% compared with 2023, to £60,000 (€71,115). The prize money allocated to the qualifying week (24-27/06/2024) has increased by 14.9%.
