What is PPT – Padel Pro Tour?

Padel Pro Tour (PPT) is the Professional Padel Circuit.

It was born in 2005, promoted by a group of professional padel tournament organizers, as the result of the agreement between the Asociación de Jugadores Profesionales de Pádel (AJPP) and the Asociación Femenina Española de Pádel (AFEP).

The PPT is managed by the non-profit society “Padel Pro Tour, SL”, that guarantees and evaluates both quality parameters demanded by the circuit’s regulations and the prizes for professional padel players that participate. This entity manages the PPT through a series of organs created especially for each of its organization areas: quality, technical area, marketing, etc. (See organization).

Each competition is property of its own organizer, who will exploit it taking into consideration the quality and profitability criteria that each one decides, always from the minimum established by the PPT, that will ensure and guarantee its compliance.

PPT competitions are directly under the same in regard to the Competition Rules, disciplinary regulations, etc.

All of them are registered in the Calendar, including the international ones that are holed out of Spain. In the PPT exists an eminently international vocation in a near future.

All those competitions that deserve it are included in the Calendar, according to the PPT’s Board of Directors’ view, in order to satisfy the conditions required by budget, location, advertising and organization, and that have previously requested their inclusion.

The calendar consists of 20 tournaments in men’s category and 8 in women’s category. At the end of the season a Master will be played, where the top-ranked male and female PPT players will participate.
