The 2007 Kuwait Open, which runs from April 7-11, together with the 2008 Kuwait Open, will be elevated to Super Series Platinum status - each offering prize-funds of $172,500 - with the climax of the three-year deal being the 2009 World Open Championship.
That event will boast prize money of $250,000 - an all-time record.
PSA chief executive Gawain Briars said: “The PSA is truly indebted to Sheikha Fadyah Al Sabah for providing the vision and generosity in presenting this opportunity to the world of squash. Her achievement single-handedly lifts the standards for all to follow. Her efforts on behalf of Kuwait are enormous.”
