WTA Qatar Ladies Open Total Prize Money History Since 2011
Qatar became a WTA Premier tournament in 2011, and it shares WTA 500 (previously Premier) and WTA 1000 (previously Premier 5) status with Dubai, with the two alternating each year.
As a result, the prize money jumps around dramatically. Hence, the % changes are related to alternate year changes to provide a more accurate change in prize money rather than the huge fluctuations you see year on year.
