The Picklr Canada Partners with World Top-3 Pro Connor Garnett

Connor Garnett, currently ranked No. 3 in men’s singles on the PPA Tour and more than 20 professional medals on the Tour across all disciplines—including multiple PPA titles—Connor has solidified himself as one of the top in the game. Connor has built a reputation for his dynamic, attacking style and innovative approach to the game. He is also recognized as a pioneer of the “Twoey”, a powerful two-handed backhand that has become his signature weapon and helped shape modern pickleball strategy.

Connor is a member of the Picklr Premiere Pros, an exclusive program showcasing the world’s elite pickleball athletes who represent The Picklr brand at the highest level. These athletes set the standard for skill, dedication, and professionalism, inspiring the next generation while raising The Picklr’s profile as the premier name in the sport.

“With pickleball participation skyrocketing across Canada, The Picklr Canada is uniquely positioned to close the gap on the availability of premium indoor facilities nationwide,” said Connor. “For me, it’s exciting to invest and partner at this early stage—when franchise growth and momentum are accelerating. Together, we can deliver not only first-class facilities, but also best-in-class training and community engagement.”

Rob Lloyd, President of The Picklr Canada, echoed the enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to welcome Connor to our experienced investor group. His credibility on the court, proven ability to connect with players, and innovative brand around the ‘Twoey’ make him a perfect ambassador for Picklr Canada. Over the next three years, members will have the chance to meet Connor at Grand Openings and exclusive investor and Founder Member events, as his competitive touring schedule allows.”
