I'm also proud to see how Reserve positively impacts the communities it serves, and I'm grateful that my Turn 2 Foundation benefits from this incredible event."

A star in the world of standup comedy and entertainment, Schulz's combination of humor and passion for padel will add a unique twist to the competition, promising an exciting and unpredictable match-up. "The Reserve Cup is all about high-level competition and high-energy entertainment, and I'm here to deliver both," said Schulz. "While Jeter may have 5 World Series rings, I am going home with the Reserve Cup."
