The Tournament of Champions, the competition for the eight best players of the season, will take place this year in Turin (November 13-20) and will offer the biggest prizes in the history of tennis.
The winner of the Tournament of Champions can walk away from Turin with $4.7 million
According to Marca, the ATP will offer a total of $14.75 million in prize money at the most important tournament later this season, and the champion could leave Turin with the biggest sum in the history of the white sport: $4,740,300 (if he wins all his matches).
The record is currently held by Australia’s Ashley Barty, who earned €3.9 million after winning the 2019 Tournament of Champions (could have earned €4.2 million, but lost a match in the group stage).
A mere presence at the Tournament of Champions this year is rewarded with €324,912 (reserves will collect €150,000). A win in the group stage is rewarded with $483,000.
In the doubles, the pair who win the title (undefeated) will take home a check for €944,580.
