Best International Tournament

Winner: PPA Asia

2025 year marked the inaugural year for PPA Asia, and it certainly left its mark, hosting massive tournaments in Vietnam, Malaysia, China, and Japan. This year, they'll return to many of those locations with plans of even larger events.

“With growing enthusiasm for the sport across the region, we see immense potential to bring the world’s premier pickleball brands to Asian audiences through PPA Asia and MLP Asia," said Connor Pardoe, Founder and CEO of the PPA Tour, at the announcement of PPA Tour Asia in late 2024.

"This is a massive moment for global pickleball and we’re excited to continue to lead the charge."

Many big-name pros headed overseas last year to compete in these events, all to rave reviews. They were treated like celebrities, and even played in front of some record crowds.
