Even celebrities are getting bitten by the pickleball bug, and actor Vince Vaughn is all in, as he now owns part of a professional pickleball team. Vaughn acquired a majority ownership stake in the National Pickleball League's Coachella Valley Scorpions. Harkening to 'Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,' which Vaughn starred in, his real-life investment in the underdog sport shows its ever-growing fanbase.
Team co-owner Kim Jagd, who is also on the Scorpions' roster, will retain a minority ownership status following the transaction, league officials said. Vaughn and Jagd met on a pickleball court in the Manhattan Beach area. 'I have always enjoyed the game and in meeting Kim I was impressed with her, not only as a player but her passion and style of coaching,' Vaughn said in a statement. 'I'm excited to support her and the Scorpions on their journey.
