APP CMO Tom Webb joins Kristin and Jill to discuss all things professional pickleball. The APP is now home to the most pros anywhere and does NOT consider themselves a “feeder” tour. The APP does, however, look at “other” tours as “exhibition tours” (shots fired!). Tom breaks down the shocking truth about viewership numbers in pickleball and poses an answer to the question we all want to know: is their enough air for the multiple competing entities in pickleball to all survive 3, 5, 10 years down the road? Kristin and Jill also recap the PPA San Clemente where Jill played with Jack Munro in mixed and her sister, Natalie “Nocki” Raney, in women’s. Jill walked away with two medals the following week at the APP Newport Beach with Eric Oncins and Megan Fudge. Don’t miss Pod 46—we’ve got Tom Webb in the mix!
