Expressing his enthusiasm, John Angevine, Regional General Manager of Hyundai Mountain States Region, shared, “The growing popularity of pickleball, a sport that embodies enjoyment, is remarkable. Hyundai takes pride in its sponsorship role within the Mountain States Region, supporting the dynamic PPA.”

Hyundai Utah Region’s Platinum sponsorship of the Vulcan Tournament of Champions encompasses prominent branding on the Championship Court, along with a dedicated space designed to foster unique on-site activation opportunities. Attendees will also have the chance to explore Hyundai vehicles on display at the venue.

Highlighting the significance of this alliance, Connor Pardoe, CEO of the PPA Tour, emphasized, “The deep-rooted ties between the PPA Tour and Utah make our collaboration with Hyundai Utah Region especially meaningful. The robust support extended by Hyundai to the PPA Tour and the Vulcan Tournament of Champions is a testament to their commitment. We eagerly anticipate Hyundai Utah Region’s vibrant presence at the Brigham City Pickleball Courts and the thrilling showcase of world-class pickleball athletes.”

The Continuation Of A Strong Involvement

With a strong foothold in the automotive industry, Hyundai ventured into the realm of pickleball by headlining the 2021 Hyundai Masters. Since then, it has consistently maintained its involvement with the flourishing sport, particularly the PPA Tour. 

In the current season, Hyundai was the presenting sponsor of the Carvana Arizona Grand Slam in February and held the exclusive automobile distinction for the Selkirk Red Rock Open in April.

When I first started writing about pickleball, I hadn't appreciated the huge range of related features it encompasses: from building communities and players fighting against court closures to overcoming health challenges and raising money for charity, it's a whole new world! I love the stories about the smaller towns from the farthest-flung corners of the U.S. and how those residents have adopted pickleball to create friendships and community spirit.
