First played in 1972, the WTA Finals adopted its current format in 2003 in which the top eight players in the world are divided into two groups of four each. Each of these four feature in three matches in a round-robin format and the top two players at the end of that qualify for the semifinals.
The semifinals are followed by the final.
While the Grand Slam winners earn 2000 points for a championship victory, a player winning the WTA Finals can earn up to 1500 points depending on the number of matches she wins.

In 2023, it was Iga Swiatek who lifted the singles trophy by defeating Jessica Pegula 6-1, 6-0 in the final.
