The 2022 BWF World Tour Finals (officially known as the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2022 for sponsorship reasons) was the final tournament of the 2022 BWF World Tour. It was scheduled to be held from 14 to 18 December 2022 in Guangzhou, China but was later moved to Bangkok, Thailand, and held a week earlier – from 7 to 11 December 2022 – due to the COVID-19 pandemic in China.[1] It had a total prize of $1,500,000.
The 2022 BWF World Tour was the fifth edition of the BWF World Tour Finals and was originally scheduled to be organized by the Guangzhou Sports Bureau, Guangzhou Sports Competitions Centre, Guangzhou Badminton Administrative Centre, and Guangzhou Badminton Association. It would have been hosted by the Chinese Badminton Association and Guangzhou Municipal Government with sanction from the BWF.
Due to the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in China, the tournament was relocated to Thailand. It was then hosted by the Badminton Association of Thailand.
This international tournament was originally planned to be held at the Tianhe Gymnasium in Tianhe, Guangzhou, China. It was later relocated to Nimibutr Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, due to the circumstances in regard of the COVID-19 pandemic in China.[2]
