2018 Wimbledon Purse and Prize Money Breakdown

Prize money for The Championship (better known today as Wimbledon) was first awarded back in 1968, the year that marked the inclusion of professional players in the tournament for the first time. Total prize money back then was £26,150, with the men’s title winner earning £2,000 while the women’s singles champion received £750. A lot has changed since then, with more than inflation inflating the total cash takeaway for the prestigious tennis event. Today, we take a look at what the men and women will walk away with, and in U.S. dollars for our sportsbook players to better digest.
