Who is the Miami Open's owner?
The Miami Open has been owned by the global sports company IMG since 1999. The tournament moved to the Hard Rock Stadium with the help of Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. As of Feb 2025, former American tennis player James Blake acts as the tournament director.
During an interview with Boardroom, Blake shared, "There was talk of where the event was going to move after Crandon Park." He further said, "To keep it in Miami, to keep it in the States, was really a treat. I was scared. I was nervous it would leave. If it leaves, you just take away an opportunity for [Americans] to get that big moment. To have a big moment in front of a home crowd, it can really jump start a career."
