The National Bank Open will award an equal amount of prize money to men's and women's tennis players starting in 2027, Tennis Canada announced Tuesday.
The annual Canadian tournament — a WTA 1000 event on the women's tour and Masters 1000 stop on the men's ATP Tour — runs concurrently in Toronto and Montreal in early August.
Additional financial resources will come from WTA Ventures, which will centralize WTA commercial rights and assets and bring a "gradual influx of funds" for the National Bank Open, Tennis Canada said in a release. Tennis Canada projects WTA prize money to rise from about 32 per cent of the ATP prize money to nearly 60 per cent by 2025, 78 per cent in 2026, and 100 per cent by 2027.
The ATP announced last year that several tournaments, including the National Bank Open, would expand to 12-day main draw events and adopt a structure closer to the one used at Grand Slams.
