The APP is the last significant independent tour in professional pickleball, and the only one where amateurs, seniors and pros play the same events. It also runs the two divisions nobody else covers seriously: AARP Champions for players over 50, and AARP Masters for over 60.
When Apollo Sports Capital put $225 million into Pickleball Inc. in May 2026, it bought the PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball. The announcement does not mention the APP at all. That absence is the story: everything else consolidated, and the APP did not.
The senior divisions, which are the real gap in pickleball coverage
The APP runs AARP Champions (50+) and AARP Masters (60+) across ten APP Tour stops in 2026, ranked publicly and free. No other tour has an equivalent. Given that a very large share of committed, gear-buying pickleball players are over 50, the fact that nobody covers this seriously is remarkable.
AARP Champions (50+) — named leaders: Teresa Tarn, Karin Kochis and Jennifer Dawson in the women’s draw; Marcello Jardim, Jaime Oncins and Daryl Wyatt in the men’s. Oncins and Jardim will be familiar to tennis followers — both were professional tennis players before pickleball.
AARP Masters (60+) — named leaders: Yvonne Ting, Jenny Reifeis and Cynthia Dardis in the women’s draw; Mark Malott, Lee Sponaugle and John Moorin in the men’s.
A Masters 65+ table exists on the same page but currently returns “No items found” — the division is listed and not yet populated.
Unlike the pro tables, the senior rankings have no “updated” stamp anywhere on the page. We can tell you who leads. We cannot tell you as of when, so we are not going to print point totals that imply a currency we cannot support. If you compete in these divisions, treat the APP’s page as the live source and this as orientation.
The pro rankings — and why the date matters more than the numbers
The APP’s pro rankings page is stamped “Updated — June 16, 2026.” They predate the Chicago Open (6–9 August) and the Detroit Open (20–23 August) entirely. More importantly, Sofia Sewing and Casey Diamond still sit top of APP tables while both have since signed with the PPA Tour and MLP. Read the tables below as a June snapshot of an APP that has since lost some of its best players — not as who leads the APP today.
The APP ranks six pro divisions, and unusually it ranks doubles by individual rather than by team.

The talent drain
Sofia Sewing, Casey Diamond and Will Howells all moved from the APP to the PPA and MLP for the 2026–27 cycle. Sewing went to the Palm Beach Royals in MLP and has made her PPA debut; Howells won a championship with New Jersey. That is what a feeder tour looks like from the outside, and it is the structural problem the APP has to solve.
The APP’s answer is money and scale: $1.5 million in professional prize money across 10 events in 2026, doubling to $3 million across 12 events in 2027, with all four days of each 2027 event livestreamed. Ken Herrmann, who founded the tour in June 2019, called it “a clear demonstration of our confidence in the future of professional pickleball.”
The development pipeline
Two structures are worth knowing about. APP Next runs development events at Chicken N Pickle venues with open brackets and no skill separation — and since October 2025 those matches earn APP Tour pro ranking points at Tier III, which makes them a genuine route in rather than a sideshow. And the 2026 Touring Pro Roster is thirteen players aged 19 to 24 based at The Fort in Fort Lauderdale: Bako Balint, David Bieger, Riley Bohnert, Jake Bower, Jayden Broderick, Mark Dancuart, Connor DuVally, Mauro Garcia, Zachary Marceau, Andre Millet, Drake Palm, Brooke Revuelta and Aiden Sipe.
What we cannot show you
Brackets, seeds and every result below the podium are behind a login. The APP moved registration and results to Pickleball Den in December 2025, and those pages require an account even for events that finished weeks ago. Round-by-round coverage, upset tracking and head-to-head records are simply not available from public sources on this tour.
What is available: gold-medal scores per event, published in the APP’s own news recaps a day or two after each event. The results archive goes back to 2023 only — the 2019–2022 era is not public.
One more caution. The APP describes its own scale as “10 events”, “13 nationally televised events”, “more than 50 events” and “100+ APP Tour Stops” on four different pages. Those are counting different things — pro tour stops versus all sanctioned events — so any single number needs saying which.
