After winning a spot in the Men’s Doubles Final with partner Gabe Tardio, McGuffin was asked about his favorite part of being in Australia. He humorously replied, “No kids and a lot of bedroom cardio,” during a live broadcast on Pickleballtv. The response sparked widespread attention in the pickleball community.

Barstool Sports Reacts

Jordie, known for his bold takes, wrote a full blog post praising McGuffin’s authenticity.

“You’ll hear plenty of haters out there make baseless claims that pickleball is for virgins. Well let me ask you this–what are the haters going to say now, huh? What could they possibly say now? Tyson McGuffin is here to shut all of them up because this man is out here knockin’ boots. No 3rd shot drops for Tyson, he’s strictly banging out here.” – (Jordie)

He highlighted McGuffin’s on-court intensity and off-court charisma, calling him the sport’s most entertaining personality.

“They don’t call Tyson McGuffin the most electrifying man in sports for no reason. And by “they”, I mean me.” – (Jordie)

“Professional sports are entertainment. And in entertainment, you need characters. And you’re not going to find a character in pickleball better than Tyson McGuffin. He’s a menace on the court, but an even bigger menace off of it.” – (Jordie)

A Unique Personality in Pickleball

McGuffin has long been known for his larger-than-life persona. While he plays with the intensity of a competitor, he also embraces a WWE-style personality, balancing his professional career with his role as a father of four.

Jordie pointed out that McGuffin and his wife took the opportunity to enjoy a rare kid-free getaway during the Australia tournament.

“The thing about Tyson McGuffin, however, is that he has more or less adopted a WWE persona on the court. When he’s away from pickleball, he’s a family man with 4 kids at home. But with the PPA Tour making a stop in Australia this year, Tyson McGuffin and the wife decided to take advantage of the opportunity to take a little vacation for themselves.” – (Jordie)

McGuffin’s viral moment, along with his growing media presence through “Making McGuffins” on YouTube and Pickleballtv, continues to make him one of the most recognizable figures in the sport.

“Away in Australia for a few days without any kids to cause any interruptions? The McGuffins are out here getting. it. on. wooooowweeeeee.” – (Jordie)
