The American Cornhole Organization’s ACO-PRO division is the top level of ACO competition. These players earned their status by finishing at the top of the ACO World Singles Rankings or going deep at the ACO World Championships. Below is the complete list of ACO Pros for Season 22, plus how pro status works and how you can earn it yourself.
What Is an ACO Pro?
An ACO Pro is a player who has earned ACO-PRO status through results, not by applying for it. Pro status lasts two seasons, so the Season 22 list includes players who earned it at the end of Season 21 and players who earned it the year before. Every name on this list has proven they can compete with the best in the world at ACO Majors and at Worlds.
You’ll see three kinds of pro status in the list below:
- Season 22 & 23 — Earned pro status at the end of Season 21. It’s good this season and next.
- Season 22 — This is the final season of their current pro status. They’ll need to requalify to stay a pro for Season 23.
- LIFETIME — Permanent ACO-PRO status for the game’s all-time greats.
How to Become an ACO Pro
There are two ways to earn ACO-PRO status. You only need to do one:
- Finish the season in the Top 96 of the ACO World Singles Rankings, or
- Finish in the Top 64 in World Singles at the ACO World Championships.
The path starts at ACO Majors and Regionals, where every finish earns World Ranking points. Worlds 22 is the last full week of July 2027, so the race for Season 23 pro status is already on.
Benefits of Being an ACO Pro
- A free ACO-PRO jersey for players who finish in the top 80 of the World Singles Rankings. Players ranked 81–96 and top 64 Worlds finishers can buy one.
- Eligibility for ACO-PRO Series events and other pro-only invitationals during the season.
- An automatic spot in the World Singles main bracket at ACO Worlds.
- Bragging rights.
