Certified Electric
Barstool Sports turned heads in 2022 when they named Tyson McGuffin “The Most Electrifying Man in Sports.” You read that right, not just pickleball, but all of sports. Bold? Sure. But for McGuffin, it couldn’t be more accurate.
“Certified Electric is the perfect way to describe my game because I bring everything I’ve got, energy, fight, intensity, every single point. I feed off the crowd, I love the grind, and I want people to feel that spark when I’m out there competing. Pickleball is entertainment, and I’m here to light it up.”
Tyson’s energy surges through everything he does, instantly igniting the crowds around him. His blend of athleticism, quickness, and fight produces jaw-dropping get-backs and gritty defensive returns that flip points on their head.
A former tennis pro who entered pickleball in 2016, Tyson skyrocketed to stardom thanks to his charisma, intensity, and unmatched skill. Today, he’s not just a competitor, he’s an icon and a forefather of the modern game. His resume backs it up: more than 80 PPA medals, including 36 gold.
Covered head to toe in ink, Tyson’s toughness runs deeper than the court. The son of a wrestling coach, he credits long hours in the tattoo chair for sharpening his edge, with each piece of ink etched as a permanent tribute to his family.
Tyson McGuffin isn’t just electrifying, he’s Certified Electric.
