The year 2016 was a special one in badminton as it witnessed some star names climb up the ranking charts, and the quality of badminton in all events were top-class. The same kind of excellence is also expected when top shuttlers from around the world battle it out in 2017.

Shuttlers will be keen to make a huge impact in most of the events they participate in, but top players will be specifically eyeing the Super Series and the Grand Prix Gold titles.

Top shuttlers including Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei, Carolina Marin, PV Sindhu and others will hope to make 2017 their year in the badminton circuit.

The All England Super Series Premier, which starts on March 7, is the first big competition of the year. But before that, players will also try to get into the rhythm and show their class in the Grand Prix contests. The Malaysian Masters is the first Grand Prix Gold competition of the year, which will be played in January.

In total, 19 Grand Prix and 13 Super Series competitions will be played in 2017, which will end with the Super Series Masters Finals in Dubai in December.
