G.O.A.T. Goes Global: Ben Johns to Headline Malaysia Cup

It’s official. Ben Johns. Asian courts. Malaysia Cup 2025.

The most dominant athlete in men’s pickleball is coming to PPA Tour Asia. Ben Johns is set to compete at the Malaysia Cup this September, marking his first-ever PPA appearance outside of the United States.

For those keeping score at home, the numbers he brings to the courts are staggering.

Current PPA Tour #1 in both Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles. Topped more podiums than any other PPA player with 156 glittering gold medals to his name. And don’t forget about that legendary 108-match singles winning streak on his resume that’s forever etched in the history books.

All achieved on American courts – until now. It’s time to watch those numbers travel, and Malaysia is waiting.

Johns has redefined what’s possible in professional pickleball. Now he steps onto Asian courts for the first time, where rising local hopes and established stars await their shot at taking on the king.

So fans get ready. Every Ben Johns highlight you’ve watched on repeat. Every jaw-dropping ATP that made you hit share. Every backhand roll you’ve tried to copy at your local courts. It’s time to experience that greatness live. 

Kuala Lumpur will be simply sizzling as Asian pickleball enters a whole new frontier. 

This is set to be PPA Tour Asia’s very first Cup, a milestone moment for professional pickleball in the region. With US$500,000 in prize money and player payouts, it’s the biggest pickleball tournament ever in Asia.
