The 2017/18 PSA Men’s and Women’s Players of the Year will be crowned on Monday June 4 during the annual PSA Awards Dinner, which takes place on the eve of the season-ending
PSA Dubai World Series Finals – taking place at Emirates Golf Club from June 5-9.
The
annual awards ceremony, which this year will take place in Dubai’s Vida
Hotel, recognises the outstanding achievers of the season across a
multitude of categories,
as chosen by the PSA Awards Committee – a group consisting of selected
influential former players, members of the media, tournament promoters
and PSA Board representatives – PSA players and an online fan vote.
For
the first time ever, this year’s awards will see squash fans contribute
directly to the outcome of the prominent Player of the Year awards,
with a dedicated social
media vote set to count alongside the selections of the PSA Awards
Committee members – while other awards such as the Shot of the Year and
Match of the Year will be decided exclusively via an online fan vote.
A
Services to Squash award – chosen by the PSA Foundation’s Board of
Trustees following the creation of the PSA’s official charity earlier
this year – will also be re-introduced
to celebrate an outstanding commitment and service to the sport during
the past 12 months.
