About Us

Welcome to Sinner Cornhole, where our passion for the game meets a commitment to community and growth. Founded by Grant Upchurch, a dedicated cornhole player and advocate, our brand is rooted in the belief that cornhole is more than just a game—it's a way to connect, learn, and grow together.

 

It all began in the summer of 2018 when Grant first picked up a cornhole bag in his backyard. What started as a fun pastime with friends quickly evolved into a journey filled with titles and accolades, including Signature Series Winner, ACL Pro, and back-to-back World Champion. But beyond these achievements, Grant recognized a deeper calling: to grow the cornhole community in a positive and inclusive manner.

 

The inception of Sinner Cornhole came during a challenging time in Grant’s career, leading to the decision to create a brand that resonates with everyone. The name itself, inspired by the idea of recognizing one’s own struggles and working through them, symbolizes resilience and camaraderie. With the help of friends like Hunter Clayton, Ryan Hodo, Baron Hodo and Les Hodo, Sinner Cornhole was born, and we began our journey to support players and the game itself.

 

Our first bag release, the Greed and Lust, marked a significant milestone. Though sales started slow, Grant's determination to hit the road and promote the bags paid off, culminating in a sell-out at the Signature Series 1 event. Since then, we have celebrated remarkable partnerships with players and continued to evolve our product lineup, including our beloved Player Edition bags that honor the contributions of key figures in the sport.

 

The friendships we've formed along the way, have played a crucial role in our success. Our journey has not been without its challenges, but through personal and professional battles, we have emerged stronger and more unified.

 

As we look to the future, we are excited about the changes ahead. Grant's role as the TCL Commissioner allows us to focus on what truly matters: uplifting players and giving back to the community. One of our proudest initiatives is our annual Toy Drive, where we donate to those in need, exemplifying our commitment to making a positive impact during the holiday season.

 

At Sinner Cornhole, we believe in the power of the game to bring people together. Our mission is to support and promote cornhole, fostering a welcoming environment for all players. Thank you for being part of our journey, and we look forward to continuing to grow the game we love. Together, let's make cornhole a sport that thrives and inspires!
