Eddie Dean Tackett Jr. (born August 7, 1992) is an American professional ten-pin bowler. A member of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) since 2012, Tackett has won 23 PBA Tour titles (12th most all-time), including five major championships, and is one of nine professional bowlers that have completed the PBA Triple Crown (earned by winning the PBA World Championship, PBA Tournament of Champions and U.S. Open majors). He was named PBA Player of the Year for the 2016 and 2023 seasons,[1] and was runner-up for the award in 2017 and 2018. Tackett is right-handed and uses a cranker-style delivery. He has been called a "unicorn" in the sport, because of his ability to use a one-handed, thumb-in delivery to achieve RPM rates comparable to most two-handed bowlers.[2]
