The World Pickleball Tour is coming back to Kansas City in 2023!
From May 19-21, 2023, we'll be hosting another tournament at the beautiful, 12-court, Elite Tennis + Wellness in Overland Park, KS!
ABOUT THE WPT
The World Pickleball Tour is a strictly amateur tournament series that hosted 25 events in 2022 and is hosting nearly 40 in 2023.
All of our tournament stops are considered "challenger" events, as all Gold Medalists from our circuit are invited to the 2024 WPT Amateur Invitational Championships, 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!
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!
