Significant reduction in prize money for singles champions and finalists (and semifinalists as well) at Indian Wells and Miami this year. Qualifying and early rounds prize money, on the other hand, are increased, particularly at IW.
Miami Open 2024 ATP and WTA PRIZE MONEY and Points Breakdown with $18,000,000 on offer

The ATP and
WTA prize money for the 2024 Miami Open has been revealed. The tournament,
scheduled to take place from March 17 to 31, features a surprising change in
prize distribution. Unlike other tournaments that typically increase the
champion's prize money each year, the Miami Open organizers have decided to
reduce the amounts for finalists and semifinalists.
The
tournament will include last year's male finalists Jannik Sinner and defending
champion Daniil Medvedev. However, on the women's side, there will be a new
champion as Petra Kvitova will be absent due to pregnancy, although 2023
finalist Elena Rybakina will participate.
The
strategy aims to significantly increase prizes for earlier rounds, thereby
helping to narrow the large income disparities for lower-ranked players. Miami
won't be the only tournament adopting this strategy to change prize money;
Indian Wells, at the beginning of the 'Sunshine Double,' also opted for a
similar approach in a curious twist.
Reportedly,
the final and championship rounds will see the most significant discrepancy,
with a 10% reduction compared to the previous season. Despite this reduction,
the winnings for the champions remain notable, with $1,100,000 compared to the
$1,262,220 from the previous year. The finalists will also experience a slight
decrease, taking home $585,000 instead of the $662,360 from 2023.

- It's always a sad note when anyone SELLS OUT on their hobby or sport. Doing so with these murderous, secretive, Saudi oppressors of women makes it embarrassing. Money cannot instill 'passion' in potential fans; money cannot force players to 'enjoy' their participation simply because hey are being paid millions upon showing up; money cannot gaurantee a future. What money can (and does) do is distract otherwise intensely focused athletes, money can entice people to go against their better judgement for a buck; money can potentially harm any given sport and has done so -- or at least caused concern for its future.
