Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Christopher Haworth was introduced to sports at an early age, developing a strong foundation in tennis during his youth. His passion for racket sports led him to pursue a career as a tennis director, where he honed his skills and strategic understanding of the game. In December 2023, during a Thanksgiving break, Haworth discovered pickleball and was immediately captivated by its dynamic play and strategic depth.

“So I played, I was hooked right away. I played every single day that week, and I started scheduling my tennis lessons around when I could be playing pickleball. So pickleball slowly took over my life,” he recalled.

This newfound enthusiasm prompted him to transition from tennis to pickleball, marking the beginning of his professional journey. In March 2024, Haworth made his competitive debut at the APP Sunmed St. Louis Open, where he secured a bronze medal in his singles debut, signaling his potential in the sport.

His rapid adaptation and success in pickleball were further highlighted by his partnership with Babolat, which signed him as their first professional pickleball athlete in March 2024. “I know [Babolat’s] adventure into professional pickleball will be successful, and I can’t wait to go along for the ride,” Haworth expressed, reflecting his excitement for the future. His dedication and rapid progression in the sport underscore his commitment and passion for pickleball.

In 2025, Haworth’s performance continued to impress, culminating in a gold medal at the 2025 APP Sacramento Open Men’s Singles, where he defeated Mariano Yeh with scores of 15-9 and 15-11, showcasing his skill and determination on the court.
