Wimbledon has increased its total prize money this year to a whopping £50m. The men's and women's singles champions will receive £2.7m each, an increase from the record £2.35m they both received in 2023.
There will also be a 35% increase for wheelchair events, with the total prize for the winner increasing to £1m. However, it is worth noting that the increase also reflects the increase in draw size.

Speaking about the increase in prize money, Deborah Jevans, Chair of the All England Club, said: “Interest in attending Wimbledon has never been greater, with unprecedented demand for tickets through our public ballot and corporate hospitality.
"A thriving, successful Championship gives us the opportunity to give back to the sport, to our local community, and to strategically invest for the future.”
