The World Pickleball Tour is coming back to the Punta Gorda area in 2025!
From February 21-23, we'll be hosting another tournament at the beautiful PicklePLEX!
ABOUT THE WPT
The World Pickleball Tour is a strictly amateur tournament series that hosted 25 events in 2024 and is hosting nearly 35 in 2025.
All of our tournament stops are considered "challenger" events, as all Medalists from our circuit are invited to play in the WPT Amateur Invitational Championships at a discounted rate, which will pit the best amateur players in the country against each other as they compete for their share of the $175,000 CASH PURSE at the event! Players who wish to play in the Amateur Invitational Championships that did NOT medal at a prior Challenger event are free to participate, but will not receive the discounted entry into the event. Gold medalists will receive 50% off their registration fee, silver medalists 30%, and bronze 20%.
We exist to grow the game at the grassroots level, and aim to provide high-quality, valuable, and memorable competitive experiences for you all, the amateur players. We look forward to seeing you at this event!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Skill/Age Brackets: 3.0-5.0; 19+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+ (70+ after registration close, if applicable). 18 and under can register for 19+.
Registration Perks: All players receive a WPT player swag bag: a reusable, branded tote that contains elevated giveaway items, hydration and nutrition essentials, court fashion accessories, other player necessities, and a World Tour DRIFIT t-shirt!
Format: This will be an unsanctioned, Round Robin-style WITH bracket play event with 6 guaranteed matches (games to 11, win by 2).
Multiple Events/Same Day: Once registration closes and the schedule is created, players will have the opportunity to add another skill/age event to the same day of competition as long as the start times don't conflict. Unsure of what level to play or wishing to test out your skills at the next level up, now you can play two events in a single day!
Giveaways: The WPT will be providing sponsored giveaways that are raffled off at the event - from luxury bags to paddles and more!
