World Table Tennis, stylized as WTT, is an organization created by the ITTF in 2019 that runs commercialized table tennis tournaments.[1] Its inaugural tournament was held in November 2020 in Macao, China. It is distinguished from the predecessor ITTF World Tour by various rules changes and big prize money for commercialized purposes.[2][3][4] The head of its council is Liu Guoliang, a former Olympic gold medalist and former head coach of China.[2]
