It was organized by World Championship Tennis (WCT) and consisted of a schedule of 25 tournaments leading up to a singles WCT Finals play-off in Dallas and a doubles play-off in Kansas City in May. A total of 54 players participated, 30 players less than in the previous three years, and the group system used in the previous editions was replaced by a single pool. The U.S. Pro Indoor was the only tournament in which all players participated, all other tournaments had a 16 men draw. The season final was played by the eight best performers and was won by the Swede Björn Borg who defeated Guillermo Vilas from Argentina in four sets.[1] The total prize money for the 1976 WCT circuit was $2,400,000, including a $320,000 Avis Challenge Cup round–robin special event played in Hawaii in January and May.[2] The Aetna World Cup between teams of the US and Australia was played in March in Hartford and was won by the US 6–1.[3] OverviewDate | Tournament | Draw | Prize Money | Surface | Runner-up | Score | 5 January 1976 | Monterrey WCT | Monterrey, Mexico | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Eddie Dibbs | U.S.}} Harold Solomon | 7–6, 6–2 | 7 January 1976 | Columbus WCT | Columbus, Ohio, U.S. | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Arthur Ashe | RHO}} Andrew Pattison | 3–6, 6–3, 7–6 | 12 January 1976 | Indianapolis WCT | Indianapolis, U.S. | 16S / 8D | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Arthur Ashe | U.S.}} Vitas Gerulaitis | 6–2, 6–7, 6–4 | 14 January 1976 | Atlanta WCT | Atlanta, U.S. | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | ROM}} Ilie Năstase | U.S.}} Jeff Borowiak | 6–2, 6–4 | 26 January 1976 | U.S. Pro Indoor | Philadelphia, U.S. | 64S / 32D | $118,600 | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Jimmy Connors | SWE}} Björn Borg | 7–6(7–5), 6–4, 6–0 | 2 February 1976 | Barcelona WCT | Barcelona, Spain | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Eddie Dibbs | RSA|1928}} Cliff Drysdale | 6–1, 6–1 | 4 February 1976 | Richmond WCT | Richmond, Virginia, U.S. | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Arthur Ashe | U.S.}} Brian Gottfried | 6–2, 6–4 | 9 February 1976 | Lagos WCT | name=coup|The tournament was halted at the semifinal stage due to a coup d'etat attempt in Nigeria and the final was played on April 2 in Caracas, Venezuela during the Caracas WCT tournament.[4]}} | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Clay | U.S.}} Dick Stockton | U.S.}} Arthur Ashe | 6–3, 6–2 | 10 February 1976 | Toronto WCT | Toronto, Canada | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | SWE}} Björn Borg | U.S.}} Vitas Gerulaitis | 2–6, 6–3, 6–1 | 17 February 1976 | St. Louis WCT | St. Louis, U.S. | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | ARG}} Guillermo Vilas | IND}} Vijay Amritraj | 4–6, 6–0, 6–4 | 17 February 1976 | Rome WCT | Rome, Italy | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Clay | U.S.}} Arthur Ashe | U.S.}} Bob Lutz | 6–2, 0–6, 6–3 | 23 February 1976 | Fort Worth WCT | Fort Worth, Texas, U.S. | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | ARG}} Guillermo Vilas | AUS}} Phil Dent | 6–7, 6–1, 6–1 | 23 February 1976 | Rotterdam WCT | Rotterdam, Netherlands | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Arthur Ashe | U.S.}} Bob Lutz | 6–3, 6–3 | 8 March 1976 | Memphis WCT | Memphis, Tennessee, U.S. | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | IND}} Vijay Amritraj | U.S.}} Stan Smith | 6–2, 0–6, 6–0 | 8 March 1976 | Mexico City WCT | Mexico City, Mexico | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Clay | MEX}} Raúl Ramírez | U.S.}} Eddie Dibbs | 7–6, 6–2 | 15 March 1976 | Washington WCT | Washington, D.C., U.S. | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Harold Solomon | NZL}} Onny Parun | 6–3, 6–1 | 15 March 1976 | Jackson WCT | Mexico City, Mexico | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | AUS}} Ken Rosewall | MEX}} Raúl Ramírez | 6–3, 6–3 | 29 March 1976 | Caracas WCT | Caracas, Venezuela | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Clay | MEX}} Raúl Ramírez | ROM}} Ilie Năstase | 6–3, 6–4 | 29 March 1976 | São Paulo WCT | São Paulo, Brazil | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | SWE}} Björn Borg | ARG}} Guillermo Vilas | 7–6, 6–2 | 5 April 1976 | Johannesburg WCT | Johannesburg, South Africa | 16S / 8D | Hard | NZL}} Onny Parun | RSA|1928}} Cliff Drysdale | 7–6, 6–3 | 5 April 1976 | Houston WCT | Houston, U.S. | 16S / 8D | $25,000 | Clay | U.S.}} Harold Solomon | AUS}} Ken Rosewall | 6–1, 4–6, 6–1 | 12 April 1976 | Monte Carlo WCT | Monte Carlo, Monaco | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Clay | ARG}} Guillermo Vilas | POL}} Wojtek Fibak | 6–1, 6–1, 6–4 | 13 April 1976 | Charlotte WCT | Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S. | 16S / 8D | Carpet (i) | AUS}} Tony Roche | U.S.}} Vitas Gerulaitis | 6–3, 3–6, 6–1 | 19 April 1976 | Stockholm WCT | Stockholm, Sweden | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | POL}} Wojtek Fibak | ROM}} Ilie Năstase | 6–4, 7–6(8–6) | 19 April 1976 | Denver WCT | Denver, U.S. | 16S / 8D | $60,000 | Carpet (i) | U.S.}} Jimmy Connors | AUS}} Ross Case | 7–6, 6–2 | 4 May 1976 | Dallas WCT Finals | Dallas, U.S. | 8S | $100,000 | Carpet (i) | SWE}} Björn Borg | ARG}} Guillermo Vilas | 1–6, 6–1, 7–5, 6–1 |
