2017/18 PSA Player Awards to Be Presented Ahead of Dubai World Series Finals



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.

The full list of honours to be presented is as follows:
