The PPA Tour season officially came to a close Sunday evening with the men’s singles, women’s doubles, and men’s doubles finals, where Chris Haworth, Anna Leigh Waters, Anna Bright, Ben Johns, and Gabe Tardio all struck gold in their respective events.

In men’s singles, Haworth followed up his slam title last week in Atlanta with an 11-2, 11-8 victory over John Lucian Goins to snag gold and further cement his No. 1 singles ranking.

Goins actually had an 8-4 lead in the second game and threatened to send it to a decider, but Haworth went on to score the match’s final seven points to score his second title in as many weeks.

“After last week, I was a little beat down, so I wasn’t sure how this week would go,” he admitted afterwards. “I’m super blessed to be here. This was an amazing event, and I’m glad to end the season on a high.”

The 33-year-old, who only began competing on the PPA Tour full-time last August, took a moment to reflect on his meteoric rise to the top spot in the men’s singles rankings.

“It’s been a total whirlwind,” he shared. “The last eight months have been something I could only dream of.”

Elsewhere, in gender doubles, the top-seeded pairings of Anna Leigh Waters/Anna Bright and Ben Johns/Gabe Tardio stayed atop their respective disciplines with straight-game victories.

Waters/Bright defeated Parris Todd/Rachel Rohrabacher 11-7, 11-6, 11-2; Johns/Tardio outdueled Andrei Daescu/Federico Staksrud 11-8, 11-3, 11-0.

For Johns/Tardio, Sunday’s win closes out an undefeated 2026 campaign. Their last loss came back in November of 2025, so the top seeds had a perfect back end to the 2025-2026 season.

“It’s phenomenal. It’s been a long season. We’ve played a lot of tournaments. I don’t know what number this is, but it feels like we can take a deep breath knowing that we’re all done for now. And of course, finishing with a win is optimal, so thank you to Gabe. We played a great season together.”

PPA Tour players will get a much-deserved break for the next week and a half before the Major League Pickleball season kicks off at MLP Dallas, which will run May 22-25.
