APP Women’s Open coming to Pickle & Chill
The APP Women’s Open presented by The James is the first-ever pickleball event created exclusively for, and by, women.
The APP announced a landmark sponsorship with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital & Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James), one of the nation’s leading cancer research and treatment centers. The OSUCCC – James is now the presenting sponsor of the inaugural APP Women’s Open, which will take place Oct. 4-6, 2024, at Pickle & Chill in Columbus, Ohio, and broadcast nationally, to kick off National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Evident in its name, this APP Signature Event will be a global platform for female competitors at all levels. The professional and amateur tournament will offer $75,000 in prize money and feature women competing in doubles and singles, including skinny singles for women 50 and over. The event will also feature social programming and entertainment designed to celebrate and fuel the growth of pickleball for women, ultimately creating a healthier and more active community. All key elements of the vibrant, multi-day event will be presented by women—from players and referees to administrators and broadcasters.
