The Indian Wells is the first tournament of the famous ‘Sunshine Double’ swing in North America in the annual tennis calendar. Known as the ‘Fifth Grand Slam’, the Indian Wells 2024 will be held from 6th March, with the final scheduled for 17 March.

This is a 7.95% rise from 2023, when the total prize money was pegged at $17.6 million USD.
The $19 million USD prize money will be divided among the singles and doubles tournaments. Carlos Alcaraz and Elena Rybakina are the defending champions this year in the singles categories.
