Lornie Kuhle
Tournament Chairman Emeritus

A staple in Southern California tennis for over 50 years – Lornie Kuhle is a lifelong tennis enthusiast who has been involved with the sport across positions ranging from professional player, administrator, coach and promoter. When Kuhle acquired the Easter Bowl and promptly moved it to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, he said, “This was always a tremendous event, but I knew that bringing it to a world-class facility like the Indian Wells Tennis Garden would raise the tournament to a whole new level,” said Kuhle when explaining his decision. With new features like live streaming capabilities and a large screen LED scoreboard, Kuhle mirrored the Easter Bowl after the Indian Wells Tennis Garden’s most notable property: The BNP Paribas Open.
