Information About

Professional Squash Association




There are hundreds of PSA tournaments throughout the course of a season, and they are classified into the following categories, based on prize money:
  • Challenger (very small events, such as regional championships)

  • Satellite (Super Satellite, Closed Satellite, and Satellite, with total prize money under 10 000 USD)

  • Star (rated from 1-5, 5 being the most elite. Total prize money is greater than 10 000 USD. The higher the star level, the more top level players will compete)

  • Super Series (the highest level of squash in the world, categorized into silver, gold, and platinum)


Every year, the top eight performers from the various Super Series events gather for the Super Series Finals. The eight 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 and B2 vs. A1). The winner of the event is crowned Super Series champion.

The Women's game is operated by the Women's International Squash Players Association (WISPA).

On January 17, 2006, the PSA reached an agreement with Dunlop that extends their tenure as the Official Ball, and Official Racuqet of the PSA. The extension is five years.

The position of Executive Director of the PSA has been held by Gawain Briars of England since 1999.
