What is the French Open total prize money in 2023?
After a few years where the prize pot slightly shrunk due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the 2023 French Open will return to pre-pandemic levels of prize funding for players who participate.
That means that the total prize money at Roland-Garros in 2023 across all male and female tournaments comes in at €49.6 million (£43.06 million). For reference, that figure is up by 12.3% compared to 2022.
It also means that the singles winners in either tournament receive a cheque for $2,496,039 (£2,004,759) in 2023.
