2024 PBA Tournament of Champions 🎳 PBA on FOX 

"you go pick up that trophy" from tackett is so wholesome. EJ and Marshall are indeed homies for life

Okay I was wrong. This is the most deserved major of all time.

I cannot tell you, how unbelievably happy I am with the results of this event.

I was at this event in person and everyone was super nice and I got all 5 of them to sign my jersey

Great sportmanship from EJ and Simo. Great win for Marshall, glad to see him finally win the big one.

I’m not crying you’re crying! What an amazing win! Great competition today!

Marshall Kent just had one of the most wild runs ever to climb that stepladder. But I’m so happy for him! He absolutely deserves this, from almost stepped away from bowling to being a major champion!

Congratulations to Marshall becoming a major winner! The bowling gods were looking out for him the entire finals.

I have to say, that might have been the most bizarre TV championship round in a long time, if not ever. Jason Sterner began the first game with FOUR consecutive open frames, Marshall Kent then starting with the first 6 strikes in the second game, only to throw his next ball in the channel, then in the next game, striking on what might have been the worst shot in the history of the PBA on TV to end up in a strike, to E.J. Tackett's shoulder injury affecting the outcome of the third game, during which he missed a 10-pin, which was the shot on which he seemed to aggravate that injury, to Kent nearly throwing two more in the channel, one on the right lane in the third game (vs. Tackett) and another in the last game which opened the door for possible defeat. It certainly was a day of destiny for someone who, until this year, would probably have been considered a journeyman, but is now a major champion. Another thing that happened, and the odds of this happening are absolutely astronomical, is that the winner of the Tournament of Champions this year defeated the same four players that Jason Belmonte beat last year in the finals to become the ToC's only 4-time champion. First, what are the odds of any four players making to the finals of a major championship two years in a row, and then those same four players all wind up losing in the stepladder final for a second consecutive year to the eventual champion (though not in the same order as last year).

To anyone who may complain about Marshall's luck, he has spent the last 10 years not receiving anything at all in the luck department, this is his comeback year (Note to the PBA to introduce a Comeback POY like the NFL lol)

I always root for the first time major champs. While not your best bowling, this was your best win yet. Congrats Marshall!

If anyone hasn't noticed, the lanes used in this event are the exact same pair of lanes on which the first televised 300 game on the PBA tour was bowled on by the late Jack Biondolillo in 1967. Lane 28 is where Jack's last 3 strikes were bowled on.

Honestly, I was hoping Tackett or Simo would get the W here but after seeing how much it meant to Kent and how happy everyone including EJ and Simo were for him I'm glad he got it, congrats Mr. Kent, well done.

Kent has struggled on television for so long. It was nice to see him walk away with the W.

I normally skip over the interviews, but I had to listen to this one. So happy for Marshall!

A brutally tough shot, and a guy climbing the entire ladder. That's the best for televised bowling as far as im concerned.

There are no words for how crazy this run was… wow… sometimes the bowling Gods just choose you. They chose him today.

I didn't want Kent to win but after ej and Simo showed good sportsmanship, I thought wrong. I'm glad Kent won. It's finally his time.

Tip toe through the tulips plays in my head Every time Jason Sterner bowls .

And to think poor David Krol got absolutely drug through the mud after winning his first title a month ago (and taking out everyones favorite Billy O on his way to that title). Well after this miraculous win here by Marshall I hope all those people apologize as I don't see any of them hating on how Marshall managed to win this lol.

He deserved that win! Got some lucky breaks but fought from the bottom and earned it!

EJ needs some rest. He’ll be back stronger.

I bet no one has ever come from 4th or 5th seed in a major, missed the headpin as many times as Kent did, and won the championship. Or has anyone in a telecast ever had a 270 from perfect but for one gutter? Wild games. Congrats.

MARSHALL KENT DID IT!!! From losing every match since 2013 now becoming a champion. Proud of him

I love when Ej and Marshall are together my 2 favorite bowlers LFG!

The last game was like watching a movie.

So happy for Marshall, he deserved to finally win a big one.

Do NOT flash that camera in my approach Im telling you don’t do it.

EJ SAYS YOU GO PICK UP THAT TROPHY ..WHAT SPORTSMANSHIP

"Backdoor guests are best". Little personal Rob

Congratulations! Happy for you Marshall

The most dramatic run of the table ever! Congrats. The emotional display at the end appropriately capped off potentially the best episode of pro bowling finals ever!!!

congrats marshall!!!! much respect simo and ej, class in defeat!!!💯💯💯

CONGRATS MARSHALL! So stoked for you after a rough few years. This is your season.

Wow. EJ passing the torch to his friend!! What an amazing show!

That start in the first game for Sterner....I wonder how many times that has actually happened? The only other time I can remember a bowler starting a game with 4 consecutive open frames was Mike Edwards at the 1991 Arc Pinole Open.

Get well soon E.J. Tackett

So very happy for Marshall. He almost gave it up last year. EJ and others like Carolyn Darrin-Ballard convinced him to stay in it. Really pleased. EJ and him are best friends after all, he was in Natalie and EJs wedding as a groomsman! He has me crying!

That was an amazing finish. Kent totally deserved that win; he has worked so hard, and I am so happy he finally got it. 😊❤

Simo with the ringing 10 to lose it. WOW

What a friggin whirlwind Marshall Lmao happy for you my man! The talent has always been there! The luck was running rampant today!! Gotta have em both!

the craziest major finals I've ever seen. Simply speechless

Bro the “how do you get super glue off your skin” had me dying 22:43

The bowling gods were smilling down at Marshall that day for sure! Every match was...atypical. Sterner with the splits, Marshall with the open to open against Ogle, EJ with the shoulder, and the battle of spares against Simo. A bowling gauntlet if there ever was one...congratulations, Marshall!

Kent was throwing heaters 🔥

WHAT A CRAZY TELECAST!!!!! Was so happy with the final result

Dang he had me in tears. Congratulations

Kent is a really good bowler with amazing form but man does he choke a lot lol, gave me a heart attack congrats

I was expecting Simon to take Kent out to the parking lot after winning a major with so many lucky breaks and a Brooklyn strike to finish

I'm EJ all the way, but seeing Kent get his first major was pretty awesome

This tension on commentary is hilarious.

Since 2020, all of the winners have climbed the stepladder. Prather, Lavoie, Belmo, and now Marshall Kent joins for four years in a row that someone climbed the ladder for the win. Glad he finally got one

Those 5 bowlers are some of the best ambassadors for the game. Lot's of great matches. Congratulations to Marshall Kent. E J take care and get rested and healed.

Man that was fun to watch! What a roller coaster and congrats to Marshall. That tension was crazy in the final. Wow!

EJ tackle is probably the best bowler. He always makes it to the cut.

Great show of sponsorship from Ogle. You'll get 'em next time Matt.

This has been a pretty great PBA season. It's a real chase for Player of the Year. Kent, Tackett, and Troup each have 2 wins with a one being a major, but guys like Simo and O'Neill could win the PBA Playoffs or Tour Finals and jump into the mix too with a 2nd win. I'd give Tackett the slight edge currently because he leads in average and shows, but it's a pencil thin lead.

“Never stop bowling” what a great victory for Marshall and to all the top guys; what sportsmanship and thank you for everything you do, all the hard work, and example you’re setting. Randy and the team, you make bowling amazing to watch on TV. The sport is in a good place.

The script writers went crazy with this one.

FOX Sports, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

Let’s go Marshall! That was awesome Tons of respect for EJ coming back to celebrate….class act

So glad to see this young man win. Lots of lucky breaks and some great bowling.

EJ wasn't throwing the Venom Shock? Whoa.

Not a Simonsen fan, but he was kinda classy, tough way to lose.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone praying so hard for someone to miss a shot 😂

WHAT a show!!!! Congrats, Kent!! I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Im so happy for marshall, what a wild ride!

Holy cow I was so hyped for the ending 💪🏻

I’ve never seen anyone get as lucky as Kent got today on tv. He must have sacrificed something important to the bowling gods today.

🤠👍 Congratulations Marshall "Mathers" Kent

Great win by Marshall! I particularly liked those two strikes in the 7th, and 8th frame of the Championship match! Those two really said not this time Simo! This one is mine! Pure magic. Congratulations well deserved!

Congratulations Marshall. Its been a long time coming.

I'm so happy for Marshall Kent ❤❤❤❤❤❤

54:11with headphones on at 5am scared me lol 😂

What a tournament!

What a ride! Really great bowling, that was awesome

Awesome Marshall! I enjoyed watching you bowl roughly 10yr ago when you came to Hawaii & bowled at Schofield. You're having such an awesome year & i'm happy to watch such a dedicated athlete like yourself apply yourself.

I actually can feel that man. Lovely!

Hands down best episode ever!!!

Awesome line up, fantastic show. Congrats to Marshall, many more to come.

Kent You deserve it.

Kent deserves it. Was an amazing show

sneak attack season baby!

craziest ending ive ever seen

Ej is the player of the year, hands down.

Kent was straight lucky! "I'd rather be lucky then good" was his friend!!!

Randy eating at the start of the first game classy :)

Yea! Marshall! 😄

CONGRATULATIONS MARSHALL!¡!¡!¡!¡ 💯🤘😎🤘💯

It seems like Sterner, EJ and Simo all kind of choked pretty hard. Ogle showed up to bowl but that was the one match Kent dominated with 10 strikes (11 if you count the spare after the gutter) and just outplayed him. Kent didn't bowl bad but he really caught more than his fair share of lucky breaks. Like they say, it was destiny. Congratulations to Marshall Kent. He's a very likeable young man with a bright future ahead of him in the PBA.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

47:05 "Backdoor guests are best" LMAO! This is why I love Rob Stone as a commentator. 🤣😅☠💀

Je kiffe ce joueur. Trop content pour toi mon gars

It was about time. He's deserved this and to finally see it happen. Its a wonderful thing.

Great Bowling. :)

"Standing room only"... I hear that so often. And then you see the crowd and they're all sitting. What am I missing?
