The Margaritaville USA Pickleball National Championships.

“This is not just a little thing happening at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden,” Andrew Krasny of Indian Wells Tennis Garden explained. “We have over 2,200 participants from almost every state in the country. A $75,000 purse. Margaritaville as our sponsor. We’ve got entertainment, games, I mean this is the place to be.”

The $75,000 purse is the largest cash prize in the history of the sport.

Players ages as young as 9 to 87-years-old will be competing.

“The courts are smaller, but its quick, its a whole different ball a whole different racket its an entirely different sport,” Krasny explained.
