What Is The Prize Money Of The World Padel Tour?

This past weekend I was watching the semi-finals and finals of the Cordoba Open on the World Padel Tour that was interestingly played in Victoria, Malaga as opposed to Cordoba. I watched the women’s winners and the men’s winners leap into each other’s arms. That made me speculate that the prize money must have been good. So I took to Google to find out.

What is the prize money of the World Padel Tour? Including the end of season bonuses, there is a total of 2.95 million euros ($3.27 million) in prize money available on the World Padel Tour. This is split between 20 different tournaments on the men’s tour and 18 tournaments on the women’s tour, and contested by the 877 players on the pro ranking list.

There are four different levels of the tournament on the World Padel Tour so let’s take a look at how those millions are divided up between the tournaments.
