2024–25 PSA Squash Tour

The Professional Squash Association, or simply the PSA, is the governing body for the men's and women's professional squash circuit. The body operates in a similar fashion to the ATP and the WTA for tennis.[1] The PSA's highest professional level, the PSA Squash Tour involves over 250 tournaments annually around the world. Over 1,200 players from five continents and more than 60 countries are registered with the PSA.[2] Rankings are updated weekly based on performances.

## Squash Tour

[edit]

PSA Squash Tour comprises the most important tournaments in prize money for more experienced and higher-ranked players, including the World Championship and Tour Finals, labelled as following:

* Diamond Tier: 48-player draws for $300,000
* Platinum Tier: 48-player draws for $190,000
* Gold Tier: 24-player draws for $100,000
* Silver Tier: 24-player draws for $75,000
* Bronze Tier: 24-player draws for $50,000
* Copper Tier: 24-player draws for $25,000

Every year, the top eight performers compete in the PSA Squash Tour Finals. The players are separated into two groups of four, and play a round robin. The top two from each group advance to the semifinals (A1 vs B2; B1 vs A2). The winner of the event is crowned the World Tour champion.[3]

## Satellite Tour

[edit]

PSA Satellite Tour comprises closed national championships or tournaments where entry is restricted to members of an association that promotes the tournament.

## Background

[edit]

In January 2013, the PSA announced, along with U.S. Squash, the creation of a new tournament series called the US Pro Squash Series. This tournament series is used to support marketing activities for tournaments in the United States.[4]

In November 2014, the WSA and the PSA announced a historic merger between the two associations.[5] A decision was reached to designate the PSA operate as the governing body for both the women's and men's ranks from 1 January 2015.

On 7 December 2020 the PSA reached an agreement with Dunlop that extends Dunlop's tenure as the provider of official balls and official racquets for the PSA. The extension is three years.[6]
