"The addition of a women's event will create further playing opportunities for our female athletes on the PSA Challenger Tour and I'm excited to see the action unfold in June."Tournament Promoter Thomas Sogaard said, "We are very proud to have become a qualifying tournament for both women and men for the PSA World Championships in Chicago in July. Our collaboration with the PSA and our sponsors has made it possible again to bring a major sporting event to Odense, Denmark."
