South Africa International 2025: Prize Money Breakdown
The tournament carries aa total prize money of USD $6,000. Since Future Series events have a smaller total prize fund, the money is typically distributed to the top four finishers (Semi-Finalists onwards) across the five categories.
The total prize money of $6,000 is usually split equally among the five disciplines (Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, Mixed Doubles), meaning each category has $1,200 available.
The doubles prize money is split equally between the two players in the winning or placing partnership.
BWF regulations for Future Series sometimes allow for prize money of less than $5,000, but this particular event has secured $6,000. The breakdown below shows the distribution of the money that is typically distributed (approx. $4,200 in this case) with the remainder potentially used for additional expenses or distributed to other rounds at the discretion of the organizing committee, though typically not for this level.
