Thanks to the incredible support from fans, partners and programs, the National Duals Invitational sponsored by Paycom generated more than $180,000 in net proceeds in 2025 – all of which will be invested into the 2026 prize purse and additional event advertising.

The 2026 prize purse now stands at more than $1.23 million, one of the largest in college wrestling. Can’t wait to see how this investment raises the stakes at the tournament in December.
