The WTA 1000 tournaments are a category of tennis tournaments on the WTA Tour, governed by the Women's Tennis Association. The old WTA Premier Mandatory and 5 tournaments merged into a single highest tier implemented in the 2021 schedule reorganization.[1][2] Until 2024, only four of the nine WTA 1000 tournaments were mandatory, when the category expanded to ten mandatory tournaments.
Since 2021, the prize money for winning a WTA 1000 tournament has been approximately $1,000,000.[3]
The ranking points awarded to the winners of these tournaments are 1,000.[4] This compares to 2,000 points for winning a Grand Slam tournament ("major"), up to 1,500 points for winning the WTA Finals, 500 points for winning a WTA 500 tournament, and 250 for winning a WTA 250 tournament.[4]
