Asia joins race to the top as PPA rankings unite
PPA Tour Asia will join and operate on a unified ranking system with the Carvana PPA Tour beginning in 2026.
One ranking. One race to the PPA Finals. One shot at World No.1.
All points from PPA Tour Asia events will count toward the global PPA Rankings, connecting tournaments across the continent to those in the United States.
One global ranking, one race to the top
PPA Tour Asia will feature tournaments across point categories, restructured to create a player pathway and contribute a standardized number of points to the global rankings – wherein tournaments can range in points from 125 to 2000.
- PPA 125
- PPA 250
- PPA 500
- PPA 1000
- PPA 1500
- PPA 2000
These categories establish direct counterparts to the Carvana PPA Tour’s tournament points structure, creating a parallel system across two regions.
Connecting players and fans globally
The unified rankings will deliver one clear pathway for players and one connected experience for fans.
For players, the path is set. Compete in PPA Tour Asia stops and every result feeds directly into the global PPA Rankings. Win in Asia, rise in the world.
For fans, the experience is transformed. One leaderboard tracking the world’s best with heightened stakes. Watch an upset in Vietnam make noise in the rankings. See a breakout performance in Hong Kong, China launch someone into PPA Finals contention. Follow rising stars from their first pro tournament to their climb up the global rankings – whether they’re competing in Asia, the United States, or both.
The unified system creates global stars and connects audiences worldwide. Every tournament matters. Every point counts.
Countdown to 2026 begins now
Stay tuned for updates on the calendar, with the first PPA Tour Asia tournament hitting the courts in March.
