Canada Open 2023 Men's Doubles Prize Money: Total of Rp6.3 Billion

The 2023 Canada Open badminton championship took place from July 4-9, 2023, at the Markin MacPhail Centre in Calgary, Canada.

This prestigious badminton tournament is a BWF World Tour Super 500 event, with a total prize money of US$420,000, or approximately Rp6.3 billion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp15,137 per US$).

Indonesia sent only one representative to compete in the 2023 Canada Open: the men's doubles pair Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan, known as "The Daddies."

Despite competing alone in this event, Ahsan-Hendra successfully advanced from the Round of 16 to the quarter-finals after defeating the Indian pair Krishna Prasad Garaga and Vishnuvardhan Goud Panjala on Friday, July 7, 2023.

The Daddies won in two games with a score of 21-9 and 21-11.

Although they haven't finished yet, Ahsan-Hendra are already guaranteed at least the Round of 16 prize money of US$1,575, or approximately Rp23.84 million per pair.

Meanwhile, men's doubles pairs who only reached the Round of 32 received no prize money at all.

So, how much money will the winners of the 2023 Canada Open tournament receive?

According to the Badminton World Federation (BWF), here is the prize money list for the men's doubles category at the 2023 Canada Open, based on achievement:

* Champion: US$33,180 per pair
* Runner-up: US$15,960 per pair
* Semi-final: US$5,880 per pair
* Quarter-final: US$3,045 per pair
* Round of 16: US$1,575 per pair

The journey to the Canada Open 2023 final is still long. It's not impossible for The Daddies to win the championship and take home the US$33,180 prize, or approximately Rp502.2 million.
