SINGAPORE – Before the Marigold Singapore Squash Open kicked off on Tuesday, international stars took the chance to explore Singapore on a bumboat cruise from the Merlion Park to the Esplanade that passed iconic Singapore landmarks like the Asian Civilisations Museum, Victoria Theatre and Gardens by the Bay.
The Nov 15-20 Singapore Squash Open is the first Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour Gold event to be held in the Republic.
The US$220,000 (S$313,250) tournament will feature some of the world’s best players including New Zealand’s men’s world No. 2 Paul Coll,
The last international squash event here was the 2019 Singapore Open, then part of the lowest-tier Satellite Tour.
Gold events on the PSA are just below the highest tier Platinum ones, of which there are five in the 2022-23 season: Qatar Classic (men), Egyptian Open (men & women), US Open (men & women), Hong Kong Open (men and women) and Tournament of Champions (men & women, in New York).
