The series includes two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 and two WTA Premier 5 events to headline the series.

To be included in the standings and subsequently the bonus prize money, a player has to have countable results from two different tournaments. Players finishing in the top three in the series can earn up to $1 million in extra prize money at the US Open.[2].
