Profile

Christopher Haworth is an American professional pickleball player. He first picked up a pickleball paddle in 2022 and turned pro in 2023. After signing with the PPA Tour in July 2025, he reached No. 1 in the men's singles rankings in just nine months, an astonishing rise to the top.

Career and record

He won gold at the 2024 San Clemente Orange County Cup, proving his ability as a top player. In 2026 his gold at the Greater Zion Cup locked up the PPA Tour men's singles No. 1 ranking. In the 2026 season he has shown dominant form, winning nearly every event, and as of April 9, 2026, he holds the top spot in the PickleWave ELO rankings as well.

Play style

He is a rare talent who reached the top just a few years after picking up a paddle for the first time. His play is marked by aggressive singles and sharp shotmaking, with multiple top-5 finishes. In 2026 he is virtually unbeatable, dominating the men's singles scene.

Latest developments

As the most-watched player in 2026 men's singles, he is seen as a new-era star candidate second only to Ben Johns.
