Know who are the former champions and most successful countries at the prestigious BWF World Tour Super 1000 Malaysia Open badminton along with the previous winners list and 2023 edition prize money
Since 1937, the Malaysia Open badminton competition has been contested annually. It has been performed in a number of cities, including Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Penang, Selangor, and Kuantan. The event’s annual schedule was broken three times: from 1942 to 1946 due to World War II, from 1969 to 1982, and in 2020 because to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Malaysia Open full winners list, most successful countries, & Indian shuttlers in Malaysia Open
From 2007 to 2017, it was known as the Malaysia Super Series and was one of the BWF Super Series events. Since 2018, the BWF has classified the Malaysia Open as one of the five BWF World Tour Super 750 competitions. This will be a Super 1000 tournament starting in 2023. Since the start of the Malaysia Open, sadly, no Indian shuttler has ever succeeded in taking home a gold medal in any of the divisions.
Historically, Malaysia Open has been dominated by Malaysian shuttlers, who have amassed more than 100 titles across all categories of the event. Meanwhile, Chinese shuttlers have won a total of 75 gold medals from the Japan Open across all categories, including 23 in the Women’s Singles classification. In the previous edition of Malaysia Open, Viktor Axelsen clinched the men’s singles category title and as the reigning world champion, he is the favorite to win yet again.
