Meet the Pros of Professional Pickleball Association
The event will offer a unique chance for players of all levels to engage with these champions of the Professional Pickleball Association. Garnett, currently ranked #5 in the nation for men’s singles and a prominent member of the Bay Area Breakers, is a Bellevue, Washington native.
With over ten professional medals to his name and a recent transition from investment banking to full-time pickleball, Garnett is a notable figure in the sport. His signature PRO XR paddle is a highlight of his sponsorship by ProRX.
