  • Jason Belmonte Named Male Bowler of the Decade for the 2010S
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Monday 6 January 2020 Jason Belmonte named Male Bowler of the Decade for the 2010s The sport’s most prestigious magazine “Bowlers Journal International” has selected Australian tenpin bowling star Jason Belmonte as its Male Bowler of the Decade for the 2010s. In arguably the most dominant decade by any bowler in the 60-plus year history of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA), Belmonte shattered numerous records, winning 11 major championships including four USBC Masters titles (three of those in a row). He won 21 of his 22 career titles in the 2010s and joined the PBA “Millionaire’s Club” in a record-breaking 131 tournaments. Stellar performances in 2019 saw the 36-year- old cap the decade with a fifth PBA Player of the Year Award. Along the way, Belmonte notched up four coveted ESPY Awards, sharing the spotlight with numerous high-profile sports stars, and collaborated with the crew from Dude Perfect to produce Bowling Trick Shots that has resulted in one of its most popular YouTube segments ever recorded, with over 94 million hits since its release. (www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CACAmH4r1fw). In 2016 Belmonte launched a unique gaming initiative, billed as the most realistic bowling game ever made - BOWLING by Jason Belmonte, and joined forces late last year with NASCAR star Aric Almirola to throw the world’s fastest strike (www.worldsfasteststrike.com). However, observers regard Belmonte’s most impressive feat as establishing the two- handed delivery as a dominant technique that has been adopted by hundreds of thousands bowlers across the globe.
