No one is going to be a millionaire for winning the Women’s Grand Prix compare to the Men’s World League which has a $1 MILLION PRIZE MONEY for the Champions.
Anyways…
In case you’re wondering, below is the Grand Prize prize money:
1st: $200,000
2nd: $100,000
3rd: $75,000
4th: $40,000
5th: $30,000
6th: $30,000
During the Preliminary Round, prize money was also awarded to each team.
According to this article, Final Round host USA has already won $165,000 after winning 2 pools during the Prelims.
Coach Kiraly says that players and coaching staff members get a share of the $$$.
The prize money difference between the men’s World League ($1 MILLION) & the women’s Grand Prix ($200,000) reminds us of the same scenario in soccer. USA women’s soccer team won $2 million from FIFA for winning this year’s World Cup compare to the $35 million Germany won after winning the men’s edition last year.
