September is a busy time in online sports betting, so many Americans may not know what’s going on with the professional tennis tour. After all, the U.S. Open has concluded, and no Grand Slams remain this calendar year.
But tennis fans know the deal. Late September is when the tour flips from North America to Asia, with many of the remaining tour events crisscrossing China, Japan, and South Korea.
As a result, many tennis betting opportunities will start in the middle of the night for US-based bettors.
Korea Open Purse 2026
In the past, the Korea Open has been a WTA 500 event, offering the largest purse of the week for players who make the early trek east for the Asian Swing.
But the Korea Open was downsized to a WTA 250 event this year, with the newly revived Singapore Open taking the nod as this week’s WTA 500 event.
Players in both draws will be working into shape for next week’s China Open, which is a major 1000-point event for the women’s side. But the difference is that Korea Open players like Jelena Ostapenko and Magda Linette will be playing for a smaller overall purse, relative to Singapore players.
The total prize purse for the 32-player singles draw at the 2026 Korea Open is $283,347 – down more than 70% from last year’s WTA 500 tournament.
