Following a meeting of its Board of Directors, the ATP has announced a multi
-year agreement that will see prize money on the ATP World Tour increase
significantly over the next three seasons, exceeding $90 million* for the
first time by 2014.
Over this period, prize money will increase for all tournaments, with ATP
World Tour Masters 1000 events leading the way with a 9% increase in each of
the next three years. As part of the agreement, prize money at the season-
ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals will increase 30% over the next three
years from $5 million to $6.5 million. Additionally, the player bonus pool,
which is payable to the world’s top 12 eligible players, will increase 33%
from $6 million to $8 million in 2014.
The increases reflect a remarkable period in which the sport’s leading
athletes have consistently performed on the world’s biggest stages, taking
the game to new heights and helping to attract more fans than ever,
resulting in record attendances, increased television and online viewership
and new sponsors.
Adam Helfant, ATP Executive Chairman & President, said: “We are very
pleased to have reached this agreement that reflects the fact that business
across the ATP World Tour is stronger than ever. We are privileged to be
experiencing a golden era in men’s professional tennis, and it is fitting
that the commitment and excellence of the players is recognized and rewarded
in this way.”
