Premier Padel (officially Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour for sponsorship purposes) is an international padel circuit organized by the International Padel Federation (FIP), with the support of the Professional Padel Association (PPA) — which brings together professional male and female players — and sponsored by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI).[1]
The circuit was created as an alternative to the World Padel Tour, owned by the Catalan company Setpoint Events, a subsidiary of Damm, which was accused by the FIP and the players before the European Commission of abusing a dominant market position.[2] QSI later acquired the World Padel Tour, which ceased to exist after eleven editions, leaving Premier Padel as the main international professional circuit.
Description
The circuit was launched in 2022 and initially featured two categories of events: Major (worth 2,000 FIP ranking points and offering €525,000 in prize money) and P1 (1,000 ranking points and €250,000 in prizes).
In 2024, P2 tournaments were added — the lowest tier in professional padel (500 ranking points) — along with the Tour Finals, the season-ending event featuring the top 16 players in each ranking (the equivalent of the Master Final of the World Padel Tour).[3][4]
In its first season, the circuit featured six venues across three continents: four Majors (Doha, Rome, Paris and Monterrey) and two P1 events (Madrid and Mendoza).
Editions
| Ed. | Year | Men's doubles champions | Women's doubles champions | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | 2022 | Alejandro Galán | Juan Lebrón | No women's category held | |
| II | 2023 | Agustín Tapia | Arturo Coello | Ariana Sánchez | Paula Josemaría |
| III | 2024 | Agustín Tapia | Arturo Coello | Ariana Sánchez | Paula Josemaría |

Note: The FIP ranking at the end of 2023 included points earned in tournaments from both the 2022 and 2023 editions, and for women also points from certain WPT events. Lebrón and Galán finished as the No. 1 ranked pair in the FIP standings, but considering only points earned in Premier Padel 2024 tournaments, Coello and Tapia were the clear No. 1. Lebrón and Galán won just one of the six tournaments (a P1) and reached no other finals.
