BWF China Masters 2025: All you need to know about prize money & points on offer

The total prize pool of China Masters 2025 is USD 1,250,000.

The 18th edition of the BWF China Masters 2025 is being played from September 16 to September 21 at the Shenzhen Arena in Shenzhen, China. The first-round matches were played on the first two days, while further round matches began on September 18.

Since this is a BWF Super 750 event, the biggest names in the world badminton circuit are currently participating in the tournament. The top five players in the BWF rankings in all sections, barring the men’s singles event, are all part of the draw.

Top stars like An Se Young, Chen Yufei, Viktor Axelsen, Anders Antonsen, Kunlavut Vitidsarn, Goh Sze Fei/Nur Izzuddin, Kim Astrup/Anders Rasmussen, Liu Sheng Shu/Tan Ning, Baek Ha Na/Lee So Hee, Tang Chun Man/Tse Ying Suet, and Goh Soon Huat/Lai Shevon Jamie will all be aiming to clinch the title in their respective events.

As for the Indian contingent, the participation is limited with the men’s singles event consisting of Olympians Lakshya Sen and PV Sindhu, along with the rising mixed doubles pair of Tanisha Crasto and Dhruv Kapila. HS Prannoy and Kiran George have withdrawn from the tournament.

Two-time Olympic bronze medallist PV Sindhu, who played brilliantly at the World Championships, defeating Wang Zhiyi in the Round of 16 but narrowly missing out on a podium finish, will now be eager to regain her top form in the women’s singles section.

Much to the joy of fans around the world, the tournament also features India’s finest doubles pair, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, who showcased brilliant form at the Hong Kong Open last week, finishing runners-up after a hard-fought final against Liang and Wang.
