And this stark disparity has hardly budged for more than a decade: the pay gap between men and women has sat at 80%-83% since 2004. The gap varies by industry, according to Payscale: the legal profession has the worst discrepancy at 64%, while arts, entertainment and sports comes in well above average at 94%. While this is heartening for advocates of equal pay, there is still progress that needs to be made—especially when it comes to professional sports. With a new decade ahead, we are taking a look back at how athlete compensation changed over the past ten years, and the obvious trends of wage equality in sports.

But, while the level of pay varies from sport to sport, a look at five popular American sports shows a common reality: female athletes consistently make less than men. Average Player Compensation per Sport, 2019 Sport Men Women Basketball (NBA & WNBA) $8,321,937 $75,181 Golf (PGA & LPGA) $1,235,495 $48,993 Soccer (MLS & NWSL) $410,730 $35,000 Softball/Baseball (MLB & NPF) $4,031,549 $6,000 Tennis (ATP & WTA) $335,946 $283,635. Sources: CareerTrend (NPF), ESPN (PGA & LPGA), Global Sports Salaries (MLB, MLS, NBA, WNBA), NWSLSoccer.com (NWSL), Tennis.com (ATP, WTA) Whether professional players receive salaries or individual prize money from competitions, male athletes in basketball, golf, soccer, baseball and tennis make anywhere from 15% to nearly 100% more than female athletes. While compensation for women has improved over the past decade, the gap still extends to even the world’s highest-paid players. Top-Paid Female Athletes vs Male Athletes. In 2010, golfer Tiger Woods made 124% more than tennis player Maria Sharapova. In 2019, little had changed: soccer star Lionel Messi made 125% more than tennis star Serena Williams. Tiger Woods, $105 million Floyd Mayweather, $65 million Kobe Bryant, $48 million Phil Mickelson, $46 million David Beckham, $43.7 million Lionel Messi, $127 million Cristiano Ronaldo, $109 Million Neymar, $105 million Canelo Alvarez, $94 million Roger Federer, $93.4 million Maria Sharapova, $24.5 million Serena Williams, $20.2 million Venus Williams, $15.4 million Danica Patrick, $12 million Kim Yu-Na, $9.7 million Serena Williams, $29.2 million Naomi Osaka, $24.3 million Angelique Kerber, $11.8 million Simona Halep, $10.2 million Sloane Stephens, $9.6 million. While the pay disparity didn’t change, there is one aspect of the Forbes top-ten list that did. The top ten highest-paid women in 2019 were all tennis players when a decade ago the top-ten list included NASCAR, ice skating and golf. Tennis has made moves to increase equal pay between their male and female players, and today all four major tennis tournaments offer equal prize money. This is just one of the ways that professional sports are working to improve pay inequality. But as recent lawsuits and even Twitter battles show, we still have a ways to go. Let’s take a closer look at the professional athlete salary statistics for three sports that have made headlines when it comes to the gap in professional pay: basketball, soccer and tennis. Basketball. Every year since the Women’s National Basketball Association’s inaugural season in 1997, the highest-paid women’s basketball player has earned less than the lowest-paid National Basketball Association player. In the 1997-98 season, NBA rookies made 176% more than WNBA rookies. And while that gap narrowed slightly at the start of the 2010s to 172%, it widened again by the end of the decade to 182%. Minimum rookie salary: $242,000 Salary cap: $26,900,00 Rookie salary: $473,604 Up to six years: $13,603,750 7-9 years: $16,324,500 10+ years: $19,045,250 Rookie salary: $898,310 Up to six years: $27,285,000 7-9 years: $32,742,000 10 years or more: $38,199,000 Minimum salary: $15,000 Salary cap: $50,000 Rookie salary: $35,190 Three years: $51,000 Six years: $97,000 Salary cap: $99,500 Rookie salary: $41,965 Three years: $56,375 Six years: $115,000 Salary cap: $117,500. The starkest gap remains at the very top. Golden State Warriors player Stephen Curry was on track to make more than $40 million in salary alone during the 2019–20 season. In the same year, DeWanna Bonner, the highest-paid WNBA player, was eligible for a base salary of $127,500, a difference of almost 200%. However, the past decade has seen some attempts to narrow that gap. In 2009, the WNBA started to allow sponsorship on jerseys in order to boost revenue, a move that the NBA repeated in 2017. In 2016, ESPN doubled their rights fee to show WNBA games, paying $25 million a year. And in 2019, CBS Sports made a deal to pay for additional games. But one of the biggest moves was the WNBA’s 2020 community bargaining agreement. Revenue Sharing and the 2020 Community Bargaining Agreement. For years, another major difference in compensation came in the form of revenue sharing. NBA players receive about 50% of the league’s revenues. Up until 2020, the WNBA received 20% of their league’s revenues. That changed with a new community bargaining agreement, reached in January of 2020, which agreed to a 50-50 split and brought WNBA players in line with their male counterparts. The 2020 agreement was also a big step forward in terms of WNBA players’ salary potential. For the first time, the average salary reached six figures. Rookie salary: $41,965 Three years: $56,375 Veteran players: $115,000 Salary cap: $117,500 Average: $75,000 Rookie salary: $57,000 Three years: $68,000 Veteran players: $185,000 Salary cap: $215,000 Average: $130,000.
