The 2024–25 PSA World Events is the international squash tour organised circuit organized by the Professional Squash Association (PSA) for the 2024–25 squash season. It's the 10th PSA season since the merger of PSA and WSA associations in 2015.
The most important tournaments in the series are the PSA World Championship for Men's and Women's. The tour also features two circuits of regular events—PSA World Events (formerly PSA World Tour), which feature the highest prize money and the best fields; and PSA Challenger Events with prize money ranging $3,000–$15,000. In the middle of the year (usually in June), the PSA Squash Tour - World Events tour is concluded by the Men's and Women's PSA Squash Tour Finals in a to be determined venue, the season-ending championships for the top 8 rated players from PSA World Events level tournaments.
