Overview

The Credit One Charleston Open’s legacy of award-winning tennis began on Hilton Head Island in 1973, the same year as the founding of the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz. Today, the world’s best players and most passionate fans gather in Charleston on Daniel Island for nine days of tennis excellence.

As the largest women’s-only professional tennis tournament in North America, the event welcomes nearly 90,000 attendees to the state-of-the-art Credit One Stadium each spring. It features a 48-player singles draw, a 24-player qualifying draw and a 16-team doubles draw.

In April 2025, Credit One Bank extended its title partnership of the tournament through 2031 and in 2026 awarded equal prize money, a historic milestone that underscores a shared commitment to advancing women’s sports. This move upholds the bank’s belief that women athletes deserve equal investment and opportunity, and further cements Charleston’s role as a leader on the WTA Tour. With this commitment, the Credit One Charleston Open became the first standalone WTA 500 tournament to voluntarily increase prize money to match comparable ATP 500 events.

Recognized by the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz, the Credit One Charleston Open has been named WTA 500 Tournament of the Year for four consecutive seasons (2022–2025). The tournament has been honored by the WTA for its exceptional player experience, dedicated team, and welcoming atmosphere. This award reflects the Credit One Charleston Open’s ongoing commitment to the sport and its athletes, as well as the passion and enthusiasm of its fans.
