Badminton doesn't have official 'grand slams' like tennis — but the Super 1000 tournaments are widely treated as them: the All England, Indonesia Open, China Open and Malaysia Open. This guide explains what makes these four events the sport's biggest, how 'grand slam' is also used for a player winning every major title (Lin Dan's feat), and how the Super 1000s sit at the top of the BWF World Tour, with prestige and points to match.
The BWF World Tour is professional badminton's main circuit: a season-long series of tournaments graded from Super 1000 down to Super 300, climaxing in the season-ending World Tour Finals. This guide explains the levels, how many events there are, how prize money and ranking points scale with prestige, how players qualify for the Finals, and how the Tour fits alongside the Olympics and the big team cups — with the structure checked against the BWF.
