As always, the deeper you finish in any tournament, the bigger the amount of cash you end up with. For the eventual champion at Newport, he’s expected to receive exactly $91, 630. That’s a bit of an increase compared to the previous year, when the total purse was only at $488, 225.
Rajeev Ram, the 2015 winner, seems ready and pumped up to defend his title and become the first back-to-back champion since John Isner (2012, 2011).
Meanwhile, for the players who fail to conquer the competition, they won’t be going home with an empty pocket at least. The runner-up will be given $48, 260—which is more than half of the winner’s earning. The semifinalists and quarterfinalists shall garner $26, 140 and $14, 890, respectively.
And lastly, those who make it past the Round of 32 get a tad below $10,000, and those who don’t have to settle with just $5, 200. Well, it’s better than nothing right?
