GRACE PHARMACY × UNILAB raises the stakes to host one of the biggest pickleball tournaments in Philippine sporting history.
Bigger. Bolder. A game changer.
The excitement surrounding PICKLEBALL INVASION 2026 is reaching a new level as organizers officially unveil a staggering ₱2,306,400 TOTAL PRIZE POOL, setting the stage for what is being positioned as one of the biggest prize offerings in Philippine pickleball history.
Presented by Grace Pharmacy and UNILAB, the tournament is bringing an unprecedented scale of competition and excitement to Bacolod City on December 4–6, 2026.
More than just a competition, Pickleball Invasion aims to deliver a premium sporting experience that celebrates athleticism, community, and the rapidly growing popularity of pickleball in the Philippines.
But while the prize pool is designed to make headlines, organizers are equally focused on the quality of the tournament experience.
Participation will be strictly limited to 560 players across various categories, a deliberate decision by the organizing committee to ensure a well-managed, competitive, and high-quality tournament environment.
The participant cap reflects the organizers’ commitment to providing players with an organized competition, efficient game management, and an experience worthy of the scale of the event.
“This is about raising the bar for pickleball tournaments in the Philippines. We want to create something that goes beyond offering a substantial prize pool. We want players to experience a tournament that is professionally organized, exciting, and memorable from registration to the final match. The ₱2,306,400 prize pool reflects the scale of what we are building, and this is only the beginning,” said Crystal Canillo, Marketing Head.
The announcement of the total prize pool is just the first of several major revelations leading up to the tournament.
Organizers are expected to release the complete breakdown of prizes per bracket and category within the week, alongside the official tournament officials, game schedules, and other important competition details.
Further announcements will also cover the official registration and payment procedures, as well as additional tournament activities and surprises prepared for participants.
Beyond the competition itself, Pickleball Invasion is also preparing exciting opportunities for pickleball enthusiasts and spectators. Organizers are set to unveil a series of raffle prizes and giveaways, extending the excitement beyond registered players and allowing the wider pickleball community to take part in the festivities.
With its substantial prize pool, limited player slots, and growing anticipation, Pickleball Invasion is positioning itself as a major milestone for the sport’s development in the country.
