In addition, 20 PPA Tour players will compete in the pro division of the event itself. February 2025 will see an official PPA Tour stop in India - the Indian Open 2025 - worth 1,500 PPA ranking points. Pro players from all over the world will participate at this debut PPA Tour event in Asia.
PPA Tour India will officially launch, offering PPA Tour ranking points to players at events around the country to expand the global reach of professional pickleball and provide an opportunity for players to rise in the rankings.
