About Chris Barnes (bowler)
Chris Barnes (born February 25, 1970) is an American professional bowler and member of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA), who currently competes on the PBA50 Tour while bowling part-time on the regular PBA Tour. He has also competed internationally as a member of Team USA. Barnes, a right-handed bowler, has been one of the leading professionals on the tour. He has won 19 PBA Tour titles and over $2.5 million (U.S.) in total prize money during his 20-year career. He has earned at least $100,000 in 14 PBA seasons, including 12 consecutive seasons (1999 through 2010–11). He won the PBA Rookie of the Year Award in 1998 and earned PBA Player of the Year honors in the 2007–08 season. At the time, this made him only the third bowler in PBA history to win both Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors in a career, after Mike Aulby and Tommy Jones. Jason Belmonte and E. J. Tackett have since joined that group. Barnes is one of only nine players in PBA history to earn a career "triple crown" (accomplished by winning the U.S. Open, PBA World Championship and PBA Tournament of Champions majors). On October 18, 2017, the PBA announced that Barnes had been voted into the PBA Hall of Fame; he was inducted with the 2018 class. Barnes has rolled multiple perfect 300 games in PBA competition, including the 22nd nationally televised 300 game in a 2012 broadcast of the PBA WSOB Shark Open. He has also won ten PBA50 titles (three majors), 29 PBA Regional Tour titles, and five PBA50 Regional Tour titles. He was named PBA50 Player of the Year for the 2026 season. Barnes is a pro staffer for 900 Global, Vise Grips and 3G shoes. He has also won eight PBA50 titles (two majors), 29 PBA Regional Tour titles, and five PBA50 Regional Tour titles. She is also a two-time winner of the USBC Queens and won the 2008 USBC Clash of the Champions tournament.
