Prize Money: What's at Stake?

The hefty $600,000 prize purse guarantees that no one will leave empty-handed from Milwaukee. The race winner will walk away with a massive $100,000 check. The rest of the top 10 will earn at least $5,500, and even the 20th place will still receive $2,500.

As always, thanks to the Professional Triathletes Organisation, athletes' financial rewards aren't solely dependent on single-day performances. The PTO World Rankings in 2022 distributed a total of $2 million, based on the final standings. The rewards from these rankings can be substantial, potentially more than any individual event.
