What Is The Prize Money Of The World Padel Tour?

This past weekend, I saw the World Padel Tour’s Cordoba Open semi-finals and finals held in Victoria, Malaga, rather than Cordoba. I witnessed the women’s and men’s winners leaping into the arms of one another. This led me to believe the prize money was substantial. And this got me thinking.

What is the prize money from winning at the World Padel Tennis Tour? Padel tennis is the fastest growing sport worldwide; its popularity has gone insane, this is why a lot of people are interested to know the game more. The World Padel Tour has total prize money of 2.95 million euros ($3.27 million), including season-ending bonuses. The 877 players on the professional player ranking list compete in 20 different events on the men’s tour and 18 different tournaments on the women’s tour.

There are four levels of competition in the Padel World Championship, so let’s see how the millions are distributed among them.
