Prize MoneyPrize money analysis & tournament insights
The Padel Earnings tracks professional padel player earnings from Premier Padel tournaments, FIP events, and all official competitions. It's the definitive source for padel earnings data.
Unlike the FIP World Rankings which use a points-based system, these earnings rankings rank players by their actual padel earnings — total prize money won throughout their professional careers. This includes earnings from Premier Padel Major tournaments (€1M prize pool), P1 events (€495K), P2 events (€265K), and all FIP-sanctioned competitions worldwide.
How much do padel players earn? The top padel pros earn €200K–€500K+ per year in prize money alone, with the #1 highest earner accumulating over €1M in career earnings. However, most professional players outside the top 50 earn under €50K annually from tournaments. Sponsorship deals can multiply a top player's income several times over, but padel earnings from prize money remain the most transparent measure of competitive success.
Professional padel operates on a tiered tournament system run by the International Padel Federation (FIP). At the top sit the Premier Padel Majors — four annual events with €1,000,000 prize pools where winners earn €47,250 per player. Below that, P1 tournaments offer €495,000 in prize money, followed by P2 events at approximately €265,000. The FIP Tour adds hundreds of smaller events (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze) with prize pools ranging from €7,000 to €150,000.

How much prize money is awarded at each Premier Padel tier? Full earnings breakdown for Majors, P1, and P2 events.
Prize money in padel is always split equally between both players on a pair. So when a tournament lists €30,000 for the winners, each player receives €15,000. Since 2026, Premier Padel has moved toward equal prize money for men and women at Major events, though P1 and P2 tournaments still show a gap: men's P2 winners earn €15,000 per player while women's P2 winners earn €8,500.
Padel is the fastest-growing racquet sport in the world, but prize money still lags far behind tennis. A padel Major winner earns €47,250 compared to over €2,500,000 at a tennis Grand Slam. However, when you compare doubles specifically — the fair comparison, since padel is always played in pairs — the gap narrows significantly. Padel prize money has grown over 300% since Premier Padel replaced the World Padel Tour in 2022, and the trajectory continues upward each season.
The highest paid padel players are dominated by Spanish and Argentine athletes. On the men's side, players like Agustin Tapia, Arturo Coello, and Alejandro Galan lead the career earnings charts. In women's padel, Gemma Triay, Ariana Sanchez, and Delfina Brea consistently top the earnings rankings. Argentina and Spain together account for over 80% of all professional padel earnings, reflecting their dominance in the sport. See the full breakdown in our prize money by country analysis.
