The Professional Squash Association (PSA) has announced that
the 2017 PSA Men’s and Women’s World Championships will
be held side-by-side in Manchester from December 9-17 2017,
when record equal prize money will be on offer across both
draws.
For the first time ever the prize purse for the pinnacle event
on both the Men’s and Women’s Tours will be equal, with the
winners set to take home over $45,000 each.
The event will see almost 200 of the world’s best squash
players descend on Manchester for the week-long event, which
will be staged at The National Squash Centre before moving to
Manchester Central from the quarter-final stage onwards.
Manchester will be only the second destination ever, and the
first since Rotterdam in 2011, to host concurrent Men’s and
Women’s World Championships and will welcome squash
players from upwards of 30 countries when the action begins.
