- The 2026 Charleston Open kicks off clay season for the WTA Tour.
- Charleston has been upgraded to a WTA 500 event.
- The total prize purse for the 2026 Charleston Open is more than $2 million.
As the hardcourt season ends, the men’s tour has the opportunity to play one quick clay tournament before absconding back to Europe for the rest of the spring. That’s this week’s Houston Open.
WTA players have a similar opportunity in Charleston, S.C. (You can debate amongst your friends whether you’d prefer Houston or Charleston this week.)
This year, women’s tour players do have other options outside of Charleston – the Bogota Open in Colombia presents a return to South America for any clay players who indulged in the Golden Swing earlier this year.
However, the Charleston Open is now a WTA 500 event, meaning its matches carry more prize money and more tour points. Unless you’re dying to get out of the U.S., Charleston is the better tournament to be in.
This year, the prize purse of the upgraded Charleston Open is a whopping $2.3 million.
