The World Pickleball Tour will be hosting the 3rd Annual Amateur Invitational Championships FULLY INDOORS!
From January 23-25, 2026, we'll be hosting AIC at the beautiful, 38-court, Match Point Pickleball Club in Columbus, Ohio!
ABOUT THE WPT
The World Pickleball Tour is a strictly amateur tournament series that hosted 25 events in 2023 and hosted nearly 30 in 2024, with many more in 2025.
All of our tournament stops are considered "challenger" events, as all Medalist receive discounted entry to the 2026 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 $25,000 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!
