ATP500 Prize Money Breakdown: A Global Tour Overview

The men’s professional tennis tour is currently navigating a busy stretch of tournaments following the conclusion of the Australian Open in January. While the Grand Slam season is on pause, the ATP500 series is taking center stage across Europe, America, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. This article provides a detailed look at the prize money offered at these key events.

Understanding the ATP500 Category

The ATP500 tournaments represent a significant tier in men’s professional tennis, positioned just below the ATP Masters 1000 and Grand Slam events in terms of prestige and ranking points. Winning an ATP500 tournament awards a player 500 ranking points. The winner of the ATP Masters 1000 will receive 1,000 points, and the top four Grand Slam tournaments will award 2,000 points to the winner. This season features four Grand Slam tournaments, nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, sixteen ATP500 tournaments, and twenty-nine ATP250 tournaments.

February’s ATP500 Schedule: A Whirlwind of Competition

February 2026 is particularly packed with ATP500 events. The Nexo Dallas Open (USA) and ABN AMRO Open (Netherlands) will run concurrently from February 9th to 15th. Following closely, the Qatar ExxonMobil Open (Qatar) and Rio Open (Brazil) will overlap from February 16th to 21st. The final week of February (February 23rd-28th) sees the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (UAE) and Abierto Mexicano Telcel HSBC (Mexico) taking place simultaneously.
