The HYLO Open (29 October – 3 November), a Super 300 tournament, will be followed on subsequent weeks by the Korea Masters 2024 (also Super 300), the Kumamoto Masters Japan 2024 (Super 500) and the LI-NING China Masters 2024 (Super 750). Another qualifying (BWF Tour) event is the WONDR by BNI Indonesia Masters II 2024 during the week of the HYLO Masters, the last Super 100 of the qualifying period.
Given the significant ranking points and prize money at stake, fans will expect this late season to catch fire, with several contenders returning from their post-Olympic break, particularly for the three back-to-back tournaments in Asia.
As reigning Olympic champions are guaranteed qualification, there are, effectively, seven spots up for grabs in each of the five categories, with a maximum of two per Member Association.
