Shuttlers earn much-needed dough in Thailand


Raking it in: Marin took home RM809,000.

PETALING JAYA: The unprecedented three back-to-back tournaments that successfully took place in Bangkok last month had given shuttlers a rare opportunity to make some money they couldn’t possibly earn in the same period during a regular season.

The tourneys boast combined prize funds of US$3.5mil (RM14.16mil) with the Thailand Open I and Thailand Open II offering US$1mil (RM4.05mil) each, while the season finale World Tour Finals had put up a US$1.5mil (RM6.07mil) bonus pool to be fought by only the eight best players and pairs of the season in the five events.
