ATP Set To Increase Prize Money At Challenger Tour Events To Minimum Of $50,000

The ATP announced efforts to enhance the ATP Challenger Tour, including further increases in prize money. The increases will take place at the lowest category of tournaments, with minimum prize money levels increasing from $40,000 plus hospitality (paid hotel accommodation for main draw players) to $50,000 plus hospitality by '17. In addition, and with immediate effect, the ATP is offering all current minimum prize money tournaments a subsidy to move up to $50,000 plus hospitality from '15. The latest increases mean that prize money at the lowest ATP Challengers is set to increase by 100% inside 10 years. In '07, minimum prize money levels on the Challenger Tour were $25,000 plus hospitality. Minimum levels were already increased from $35,000 plus hospitality to $40,000 plus hospitality in '14. The ATP will also provide additional ATP umpires, ATP physiotherapists and player relations staff across a number of tournaments, as well as continuing its focus on ensuring that more tournaments are staged in regional swings which complement ATP World Tour tournaments, enabling players to reduce costs and travel time (ATP).
