WTA Announces Equal Prize Money for 2027

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

The Women's Tennis Association has announced that all WTA 1000 tournaments will award equal prize money to men and women starting in 2027, marking a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality in tennis.

The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) has announced that all combined WTA 1000 tournaments will award equal prize money to both men and women beginning in 2027. This major milestone includes the prestigious Italian Open and other top-tier events joining the category in offering identical payouts.

The move represents a long-awaited victory for gender equality in professional tennis, addressing the historical disparity highlighted by Billie Jean King, who formed the women's professional circuit after earning just $600 for her 1970 Italian Open title while men's winner Ilie Nastase received $3,500 for the same tournament. liveiplscore.homes
