Pickleball fans will have a rare opportunity for complimentary courtside access to watch many of the world's top singles pros go head-to-head as Life Time debuts its LT Open from Friday, October 17 through Sunday, October 19 at Life Time Peachtree Corners in Atlanta.

The tournament marks the first professional singles-only pickleball event in the country and features a $250,000 prize purse, including $50,000 each for the men's and women's champions.

Fans can RSVP for complimentary courtside and fan access passes linked here to enjoy three days of competition. All fans attending Saturday and Sunday will also receive a complimentary LT Pro 48 pickleball, the official ball of the LT Open and the PPA Tour.

PPA Tour stars Federico Staksrud, John Lucian Goins, and Kaitlyn Christian, are among the athletes scheduled to compete. Tennis legend and Life Time Pickleball and Tennis Board Chair Andre Agassi will be courtside for the semi-finals and finals on Sunday.

Hosted by Life Time and powered by the PPA, the LT Open is designed to showcase the sport's fast-growing and intense singles play, combining athleticism, stamina and unique court strategy for fans to enjoy courtside or from home.

The main draw through the championship matches will all be accessible via live broadcast: Friday on the PPA Tour's YouTube, and Saturday and Sunday via Pickleballtv and FS2.
