Wimbledon 2024 prize money: How much will the Men’s and Women’s singles winners be paid this year?

WIMBLEDON winners are in for a new record in prize money this year - and more cash will be handed out TODAY due to the Men's Singles final.

Last year, Carlos Alcaraz secured the men's trophy and Marketa Vondrousova the women's, picking up a cool £2.35m.

However this year the pot is even bigger.

This places Wimbledon as the best-paying of the four majors.

Under current exchange rates, the Australian Open winners received £1.64m in January.

Alcaraz and women’s winner Iga Swiatek got just north of £2m from the recent French Open while at the 2023 US Open, the winners earned £2.35m. 

The new All England Club chair Debbie Jevans said: “In addition to investing heavily in the facilities and services that we offer the players and their teams, we are pleased to be offering a record prize money for this year's Championships. 

“We look to strike the balance between providing a good measure of security for the left-hand side of the draw, who rely on Grand Slam prize money to fund their coaching, travel and expenses throughout the year while rewarding the right-hand side of the draw as they progress further.”

The king and queen of grass will now collect an extra £350,000 - taking the winner's earnings to £2.7m.
