## Key points

- Camillo expects the WTA’s finances to return to normal in 2027.
- CVC funding of about $30 million a year ends in 2027.
- The tour plans calendar changes and equal prize money at combined Masters 1000 events.

## Summary

WTA chair Valerie Camillo said she is confident the tour will return to normal operations and finances in 2027, despite reports of projected losses and a possible cash shortfall. She described 2026 as a transition year, with the WTA taking on unexpected costs to move its season-ending Finals to Indian Wells.

The reported $23 million operating loss this year was not directly addressed by Camillo. CVC Capital Partners’ annual funding of about $30 million, linked to its investment in the WTA’s commercial arm, ends in 2027; Camillo said prize money would not be cut, and combined WTA-ATP Masters 1000 events will offer equal prize money next year. The WTA’s 2027 changes include fewer required WTA 500 events, a new tournament investment fund and Finals in Charlotte, while this year’s Finals prize pool fell to $10 million from $15.5 million in 2025.
