The PPA Tour is back in Utah for an exciting week of pickleball. The Little Valley Pickleball Complex, in St. George, is hosting the tournament.
The Red Rock Open is a staple in pickleball. Utah is well known for being a hotbed for very good pickleball and has a rich history of hosting phenomenal tournaments.
Weather Outlook
Good news: There is no precipitation in the forecast in Utah. Winds may be a slight problem throughout the event, but will not be nearly as big of an issue as they were in Texas.
The other thing that will affect play in Utah is the altitude. At 2,860 feet above sea level, St. George is the highest altitude location on the 2025 PPA Tour. A higher altitude means the ball will be traveling fast. Especially from Friday through Sunday, expect players to be driving and crashing a ton. Players who adjust to the altitude the quickest will be in very good position to win.
