El PTO T100 Triathlon World Tour 2025 has left Hayden Wilde and Kate Waugh as the highest paid triathletes on the circuit.
The PTO T100 Triathlon World Tour has season closed 2025 confirming Hayden Wilde y Kate Waugh as the triathletes who have earned the most money on the circuit, in a scenario different from that experienced in the inaugural year of 2024.
The T100 circuit, promoted by the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), has established itself in just two seasons as one of the most attractive and best paid formats in professional triathlon.
With very attractive prizes per race and a powerful final bonus, money has become a clear indicator of performance... but also of consistency.
Hayden Wilde, total dominance in 2025
In the men's category, Hayden Wilde (New Zealand) has been the year's biggest financial star. The New Zealander has accumulated $355.000 dollars in prizes, clearly leading the ranking of T100 2025 earnings.
His figure is explained by an almost perfect season: six victories in T100 events and the final bonus as circuit champion, a dominance rarely seen in this format.
Wilde has not only won races, but has set the pace of the circuit from start to finish.
Following him are very different profiles, such as Jelle Geens, third with $328.500 in earnings, or Mika Noodt, second in the series standings with total earnings of $257.500.1 A clear reflection of how the T100 system rewards consistency as much as winning.
This is the table of total earnings Men's:
| Position | Athlete | Country | Earnings ($) | Victories |
| 1 | Hayden Wilde | New Zealand | 355.000 | 6 |
| 2 | mika noodt | Germany, | 257.500 | 0 |
| 3 | Jelle Geens | Belgium | 328.500 | 1+ |
| 4 | Morgan Pearson | United States | N / A | 1+ |
| 5 | Rich Bogen | Germany, | N / A | 0 |
Kate Waugh succeeds Knibb on the female throne
In the women's category, Kate Waugh (Great Britain) was the highest-paid triathlete on the circuit in 2025, with $339.000 dollars in prizes.
The British rider has racked up three victories throughout the year (including Singapore, Wollongong and Qatar) and has stood out for her consistency, which has allowed her to prevail in the ranking economic ahead of very established names in middle distance triathlon.
Behind, Lucy Charles-Barclay positioned itself with $318.000 in earnings, and Julie Derron had a solid season, finishing second in the series overall standings with $281.000 in total earnings.
This is the table of total earnings Women's.
| Position | Athlete | Country | Earnings ($) | Victories |
| 1 | Kate Waugh | Britain | 339.000 | 3 |
| 2 | Julie Derron | Switzerland | 281.000 | 0 |
| 3 | Lucy Charles-Barclay | Britain | 318.000 | 2+ |
| 4 | Ashleigh Gentle | Australia | N / A | 1+ |
| 5 | Jess Learmonth | Britain | N / A | 0 |
Comparison with 2024: change of protagonists
The economic picture of 2025 contrasts with the circuit's inaugural season.
In 2024, the dominant players were Taylor Knibb, who won $410.000 dollars of the PTO/T100 circuit, and Marten Van Riel, which reached the $401.000 dollars in circuit prizes.
A year later, neither of them leads the ranking economic. The baton has passed to Wilde and Waugh, reflecting the rapid competitive evolution of the circuit and the depth of the level at the T100.
A circuit where winning matters, but consistency pays off
The 2025 data once again reinforces the PTO T100's message: winning a race isn't enough. Consistently being at the front, accumulating points, and finishing strong is what makes the financial difference. End-of-season bonuses are the biggest financial incentive, with first place receiving $200.000 just from the bonus.
With two seasons completed, the T100 is no longer just a new format: it is one of the major economic drivers of professional triathlon… and a clear reference point for where the sport is headed.
