The Sunshine Swing is played on Laykold
Bringing Grand Slam court quality to Indian Wells and Miami.
The Sunshine Swing is special. Featuring two of the most prestigious and loved tournaments outside of the Grand Slams - Indian Wells (BNP Paribas Open) and the Miami Open - the ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 back-to-back events pull in star power, top prizemoney and some of the sport’s biggest crowds.
While famously paired, the two tournaments have contrasting climates.
Indian Wells’ conditions are much dryer with the thinner air making the ball pace through the air much quicker than coastal Miami.
Laykold’s ability to serve up 10 x more court consistency than the industry standard ensures that each tournament has a court that is tailored to its unique environment, providing unmatched playing consistency.
The result?
The players can focus on being the best they can be.
The fans can buckle in for an unmissable hardcourt swing. Maybe even a Sunshine Double...
