Taking home the trophy at Wimbledon is the dream of every tennis player, and with that trophy comes big money. Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek claimed the grand prizes with their respective singles championship wins, but overall the 2025 tournament saw an 8% increase in total prize money from last year's tournament.

For the first time since 2012, the Open Championship is not increasing its purse from the previous year. The total payouts will total $17 million, with the winner receiving $3.1 million. The U.S. Open at Oakmont also kept its similar payout from 2024.

The total prize pool handed out at the MLB Home Run Derby is a whopping $2.5 million. However, it isn't winner-takes-all. While the champion receives $1 million off the top, the rest of the money is then trickled down to the rest of the participants in a variety of ways.

The winner of the Wimbledon men's singles will receive 3 million GBP in 2025, equivalent to approximately $4.09 million. It represents an 11.1% increase in prize money for the tournament champion over the 2024 amount.

WIN: Chris Gotterup, -15/265, $1.575 million T-2: Marco Penge, -13/267, $788,175 T-4: Nicolai Hojgaard, -12/268, $407,250 T-8: Xander Schauffele, -9/271, $233,400

From the first woman to make the final table in 30 years to a fan favorite looking to add a World Series of Poker title to what will be a Hall of Fame resume, there is no shortage of storylines heading into the stretch run of this year's event.

The Open is leaving the total prize money the same, the first time since 2012 the R&A has chosen not to increase the purse.

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood is one of eight batters that will compete in the 2025 Home Run Derby ahead of the MLB All-Star Game.

There have been examples in the past of Home Run Derby winners earning more than their yearly salaries, especially for younger players who make near the league minimum. When Pete Alonso won in 2019 and 2021, he received checks worth well above what he made for 162 games.

Willam Muow, who closed with a 61 on Sunday, took home the top prize. It's the first PGA Tour win for Muow and it came in his 20th start as pro. His career earnings coming in were $504,044 and he has now more than double that with this victory. He's the 10th first-time in 2025.
