The ATP has released the final prize money figures for the 2025 season, including bonus allocations. Carlos Alcaraz, who enjoyed a highly successful year, came close to surpassing Novak Djokovic’s record earnings from 2015 of $21.6 million (not adjusted for inflation). However, Alcaraz’s Masters 1000 bonus was reduced by $3 million, leaving him just shy of the milestone.
Distribution of bonus pools
The ATP confirmed that out of a total of $24 million in bonus pools, $8.7 million was returned to the tournaments. This redistribution reflects the governing body’s structure for balancing player rewards with tournament sustainability.
Context of earnings
Djokovic’s 2015 record remains one of the highest single-season earnings in tennis history. Alcaraz’s near miss highlights both his consistency across the season and the impact of adjustments in bonus structures. The figures underline how prize money and bonuses continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the financial landscape of the sport.
The 2025 list provides a clear snapshot of the evolving economics of tennis, with Alcaraz’s performance reinforcing his position among the sport’s top earners while showing how structural changes can influence final totals.
