All Shootout Series events will be managed through the UTR Sports platform including event registrations and draws with the full schedule live on the tour website. The weekly $40,000 events in Delray Beach and nine £15,000 events in the UK will continue to take place.

“Throughout the HotelPlanner Tour’s journey, UTR has been instrumental in helping us deliver truly level-based competition for our players,” said Jieke Stroobant, CEO, HotelPlanner Tour.

“We firmly believe UTR Sports provides the most accurate tennis rating system and advanced tournament management platform, and they share our mission to create meaningful, merit-driven opportunities for athletes at every stage of their careers. We’re excited to expand our partnership with UTR Sports and help bridge the financial gap the many talented, aspiring players work tirelessly to break through,” he said.

“We are excited to partner with HotelPlanner Tour to dramatically expand their all-comers prize money competition for players of all levels,” said Mark Leschly, Chairman and CEO of UTR Sports. “With the UTR Pro Tennis Tour in its 6th year of professional tennis events, the Hotel Planner UTR Shootout Series creates another unique pathway of opportunity for players of all levels.”
