WTA Announces Prize Money Parity for 2027

Published October 1, 2026 · Updated October 1, 2026 · The Guardian

The Women's Tennis Association has announced that all combined WTA 1000 tournaments will award equal prize money to men and women starting in 2027.

The WTA has called this decision a 'major milestone' in the fight for equality, with the Italian Open and other major events joining the rest of the category in offering the same payouts. This move addresses the historical disparity highlighted by Billie Jean King, who earned $600 for her 1970 Italian Open title while men's winner Ilie Nastase received $3,500 for the same tournament. realschule-moosburg.de
