USA Pickleball Unveils Golden Ticket Tournament Dates for 2025
Nationwide tournaments will serve as the path to Nationals for amateur pickleball members in 2025
USA Pickleball unveiled the schedule for 2025 Golden Ticket Tournaments. Golden Tickets are the only guaranteed path for amateur players to play in the 2025 USA Pickleball National Championships, the premier tournament in the sport of pickleball.
As featured tournaments where bracket winners earn pre-registration access to Nationals, Golden Tickets offer participants an unrivaled player experience, exclusive gift bag at USA Pickleball-operated Golden Ticket tournaments and the opportunity to compete at some of the best pickleball venues across the country.
The 2025 Golden Tickets will be hosted by USA Pickleball and in partnership hosted by the Association of Pickleball Players (APP) and UTR Sports (UTR). Only at these tournaments will gold medal winners receive a "Golden Ticket," granting them exclusive pre-registration for USA Pickleball Nationals.
“As we continue to expand our USA Pickleball Golden Ticket Tournaments, we’re excited to feature incredible venues and continued enhancement of our player experience in our USAP-sanctioned events for the 2025 tournament schedule,” said Mike Nealy, Chief Executive Officer of USA Pickleball. “We look forward to building upon our Golden Ticket Tournaments with the support of our partners at APP and UTR Sports, making the 2025 Path to Nationals an even better experience for our members.”
The 2025 Golden Ticket Tournament began on Oct. 9-13 with the APP Dallas Open in Dallas. You can view the complete schedule of events on the Golden Ticket Tournament page.
