ABOUT PPA ASIA 125

PPA Asia 125 is the latest addition to the pickleball scene in the region. The new circuit creates a platform for emerging talent, rising regional pros, or established players climbing back up the rankings to compete across Asia. It’s your pathway to professional pickleball.

 

PPA Asia 125 runs in parallel to PPA Tour Asia, bringing tournaments closer to local courts and players across the region. It’s your step closer to Championship Court.

Players competing in Pro events earn points toward the PPA Rankings – more accessible, more opportunities, all counting toward your climb up the global ladder.

Champions also secure free entry into the next PPA Asia 500 stop, putting you across the net against the best players in Asia and the world.

Titles are tracked separately from PPA Tour Asia, preserving the distinction while creating your clear pathway to the premier level.

Points are awarded based on tournament finish (draw size dependent):

GOLD SILVER BRONZE FOURTH QF R16 R32 R64
125 100 75 50 25 12 6 3

Each PPA Asia 125 stop guarantees a minimum of US$10,000 in prize money distributed across all Pro events.

Events also operate under single-day formats for rapid-fire competition.
