Badminton in 2023, with a revamped World Tour calendar, has embarked on a new journey. The ongoing season accommodates an all-time high of 31 Super Series events, four more than last year’s 27, culminating with the World Tour Finals in December. With HSBC, the multinational bank headquartered in Britain, renewing its contract with Badminton World Federation, the sport’s governing authority, for four more years as the premier sponsor since coming on board in 2018, badminton’s flagship Super 1000, 750 and 500 events and World Tour Finals will cover wider regions this year. Of all Super Series events, the season finale, Tour Finals, where only the top 8 players from five disciplines are eligible to play, will offer the highest prize money at $2,000,000. Japan, coming fast as a top badminton-playing nation, will have two Super Series events - Japan Open Super 750 and Japan Masters Super 500 - in November.
