Top Earners On the WFP Tour Thus Far
Men
James Sprague leads all male athletes in total season prize money with $50,000, earning $25,000 from his second-place finish at Tour Stop I and another $25,000 from his second-place finish at Tour Stop II.
- Sprague is currently in first place in the WFP Tour points standings, with a strong chance of earning a 2026 Pro Card.
The $50,000 is just below what Sprague earned during the 2025 CrossFit Games season – $53,791.39 – and there is still the season-end payout to be awarded.

Jayson Hopper is ranked fourth overall with $27,000, which is overshadowed by his prize money for being crowned Fittest on Earth at the 2025 CrossFit Games, where he earned $293,778.75 from his first-place prize and event payouts.

Roman Khrennikov and Austin Hatfield are in second and third place in total prize money, earning $37,000 and $36,000, respectively. Each secured $30,000 for their Tour Stop wins.
- Khrennikov earned more than three times as much from the World Fitness Project as from the CrossFit Games in the 2025 season – $37,000 from WFP Tour Stops compared to $12,079.59 for placing ninth at the CrossFit Games.
Austin Hatfield has earned more from WFP than from the CrossFit Games, with $36,000 from WFP Tour Stops compared to $29,067.43 for placing fifth at the CrossFit Games.
- Colten Mertens, the top Challenger athlete heading into the Tour Finals, also leads prize winners without a 2025 Pro Card, having earned $11,000 in prize money across two competitions.
Of the athletes who competed at WFP Tour Stops and the CrossFit Games, four additional athletes – Jeffrey Adler, Jorge Fernandez, Nick Mathew, and Jonne Koski – earned the same or more from WFP than from CrossFit this season.
Twelve athletes have earned more from the CrossFit Games season than from WFP so far – Jayson Hopper, Ricky Garard, Dallin Pepper, Colten Mertens, Jeffrey Adler, Tudor Magda, Jay Crouch, Justin Medeiros, Colin Bosshard, James Sprague, Chris Ibarra, Ty Jenkins.
Worth noting: How do WFP Pro Contracts Work? According to an email sent to the Morning Chalk Up from a WFP spokesperson, “Prize money is always paid out in full, and the contract serves only as a guarantee of minimum earnings for the season. If an athlete’s contract guarantees $30,000 and they earn only $15,000 in prize money, they will receive an additional $15,000 payment at the end of the season to bring their total to the guaranteed amount.”
- The spokesperson continued: “On the other hand, if that same athlete wins $120,000 in prize money, they will take home the entire $120,000. In short, the guarantee ensures that athletes never fall below their contracted minimum while still allowing them to collect the full value of any prize money they earn.”
Women
Aimee Cringle leads the women’s side in prize money with $40,000 from her consecutive third-place finishes at both WFP Tour Stops.
- That amount exceeds what Cringle earned from the 2025 CrossFit Games season by over $25,000 – $14,415.68 from her In-Affiliate Semifinals finish and her eighth-place finish at the CrossFit Games.
