Which Tennis Grand Slam has the biggest prize?

Question

Which tournament gives the biggest amount of money to the winner. Men and women

Answer 1

Surprisingly, the Australian Open gives $20,600,000 (In Australian money) to the men. I'm not sure if it gives the same amount of prize money to the women, but I know Wimbledon does now.

Answer 2

The US Open gives more prize money to the winner than any other slam. They also have equal prize money for the men and women's winners.

This year's Australian Open had the most prize money in total than any other slam in the history of the game. The prize, however, is distributed differently. The Runner up and winners at the US Open receives a bigger pay check than the Australian Open winners and runner ups. The Aussie Open early round contenders get a bigger check than at the US Open early round competitors.
