The $40,000 purse is up from 2025 and will be split evenly between the men’s and women’s Division 1 fields. Babolat, one of the tournament’s Official Partners, will provide prizes across the remaining divisions.
“This tournament has grown every year, and the increased prize money will ensure that this will be the strongest tournament in American padel,” said Bill Ullman, president of USA Padel. “Running it during National Padel Month puts our best players in front of a wider audience at the exact moment we’re asking the country to pay attention to this sport.”
Beyond Division 1, the tournament will again offer broad participation opportunities, with men’s and women’s divisions D2 through D4. In addition to tournament play, on Saturday evening of the tournament, between the semi-final matches, all players and members of USA Padel are invited to attend USA Padel’s first-ever live Town Hall Meeting and cocktail party celebrating padel in the USA.
