The fan-favorite “Clears instead of Smears” pinsweep will once again be featured on PBA Tour telecasts in 2026, as DUDE Wipes will return as an official partner for the 2026 PBA Tour season.

DUDE Wipes, the nation’s leading flushable wipes brand, and their signature branding were an instant hit with PBA fans last season.

“We're so excited to return next season as a PBA partner,” said DUDE Wipes co-founder and CMO, Ryan Meegan. “This has been one of the most fun partnerships we've had and credit to the PBA for leaning into our bathroom humor and fun antics. From the branded pinsweep to fun content with Kyle Troup and the enthusiasm of the announcers for DUDE Wipes, we couldn't be happier! We can't wait to keep wiping together in 2026.”

The Clean Wipe presented by DUDE Wipes blended seamlessly with PBA telecasts. The sponsored on-air feature will return for all PBA broadcasts on The CW, CBS, and CBS Sports Network in 2026.

Last season, DUDE Wipes supplied product samples at each PBA Tour stop and served as the presenting partner of the PBA’s Friday Five content series, specifically highlighting the No. 2 moment of each week's video.

Each of those brand partnerships will return next season, along with Kyle Troup’s role as an ambassador. The 12-time PBA Tour champion will wear DUDE Wipes branding on his uniform for select 2026 events and participate in co-branded social media campaigns.

Packy Hanrahan, a two-time titleist with a devout social media following, will join Troup as a second ambassador for DUDE Wipes. Hanrahan has developed a striking relationship with bowling fans throughout his career.

“I’m really excited to help grow the continued partnership between the PBA and DUDE Wipes,” Hanrahan said. “I have worked with Kyle in the past. It was a blast getting to collaborate with one of the nicest guys out there, and I’m looking forward to doing it again.”

The first broadcast of the 2026 PBA Tour season will be the PBA Players Championship finals, airing live Sunday, Feb. 22 on The CW.
