E. J. Tackett

Edward Dean Tackett Jr., known as EJ Tackett, born in 1992, is an American professional ten-pin bowler and a member of the Professional Bowlers Association since 2012. He has won 28 PBA Tour titles, the tenth most of all time, including eight major championships, and is one of nine bowlers to complete the PBA Triple Crown by winning the PBA World Championship, the PBA Tournament of Champions and the U.S. Open. He is the only player to win a major four times in a row, taking the PBA World Championship in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, after earlier becoming one of only four players to win a major three straight times. He is a five time PBA Player of the Year, first in the 2016 season and then in four consecutive seasons from 2023 through 2026, and was runner-up for the award in 2017 and 2018. Right-handed with a cranker style delivery, he has been called a unicorn for reaching rev rates comparable to two-handed bowlers with a one-handed, thumb-in delivery.
