    'Focus Is On Broadcast, Prize Money For World Championships Not In Plans Currently': BWF Secretary Thomas Lund

    By IANS News August 20, 2026 • 15:34 PM View: 154
    Badminton World Federation: Badminton World Federation (BWF) secretary Thomas Lund brushed aside the plans to introduce a prize money system for the BWF World Championships, stating that the focus instead lies on "broadcast, broader aspects and helping players generate investment on their own".

    While the BWF offers cash prizes to players in the BWF World Tour, across the tier levels from Super 100 to the World Tour Finals, cash incentives in the BWF World Championship remain absent. The players, instead, earn ranking points based on their finish in the annual prestigious tournament, which is being held in New Delhi this time around.

    Speaking on the pressing issue, secretary Lund emphasised that the focus lies on the broadcasting and the prize money takes a backseat for now.
