WTA Finals head to Charlotte as the tour takes control of its flagship event
TL;DR Summary
The WTA Finals will relocate to Charlotte, NC for 2027–29, with the tour taking operational ownership from its Saudi-hosted deal, moving its HQ to Charlotte, and shrinking the event to five days to fit NBA scheduling; the first edition has a $10 million prize pool (about $5 million less than the Riyadh edition), and the organization plans to explore a future WTA 500 event in the city after 2029 as part of a broader move to greater control over revenue and production.
