The Association of Pickleball Players (APP) recently held its second 'Signature' event of the season, the 2024 AARP US Champions Cup. This senior-only event took place at the renowned Pictona facility in Holly Hill, near Daytona Beach. With a massive prize purse of $75k, this competition attracted the best 40+ talent from both amateur and senior professionals.
The APP has always placed a specific focus on senior pros, serving as the de facto 'senior tour' for several years. It has been the driving force behind senior rankings and has partnered with the AARP to sponsor senior events. In addition, the APP created the 'Super Senior' and 'Masters' divisions, which have gained considerable popularity among players. In 2024, APP CEO and Commissioner Ken Herrmann decided to offer even more by introducing a signature series with bigger prize money than ever before.
