How does Roland-Garros compare to other Grand Slams?
Roland-Garros sits in the middle of the Grand Slam prize money table. Here’s how the four majors compare for 2026 (with approximate euro conversions where applicable):
Australian Open 2026: AUD $111.5 million (approx. €64 million). Singles winners earned AUD $4.15 million (approx. €2.4 million).
Roland-Garros 2026: €61.723 million. Singles winners earn €2.8 million.

While Roland-Garros offers the lowest total purse of the four Grand Slams in absolute terms, its 2026 increases are among the most aggressive, particularly the 12.9% rise in qualifying prize money and the 14.55% increase for wheelchair events. Roland-Garros is the only Grand Slam to publish equal prize money across all competitions, and the FFT has made a deliberate choice to direct the largest percentage increases toward the players who need it most: qualifiers, early-round losers, and wheelchair athletes.
