The WTA Tour announced plans Tuesday for a revised calendar structure that will lead to equal prize money at combined events with the ATP Tour over the next 10 years.

The plan would have top players consistently compete in top events with combined 1000 and 500 level WTA events attaining equal prize money by 2027 and single-week non-combined events reaching the goal by 2033.

The WTA will boost the number of 1000 level tournaments to 10 with several stretching to two weeks in length with larger draws as Miami and Indian Wells are now staged.

Rome made the jump for 2023 with Madrid and Beijing set to do so in 2024 and Cincinnati and Canada making the change in 2025 and attain equal prize money by 2027.
