2026 Tampa Pro Results: Nick Walker Takes Men’s Open

Nick Walker won the Men's Open at the 2026 Tampa Pro with 5 in judging, 5 in finals, and 10 total. James Hollingshead placed second at 20. Joseph Palacios took third at 33, four ahead of Charles Griffen, and Jonarthur Duncan finished fifth at 50.

The official IFBB Pro event page lists the Tampa Pro from July 30 through August 1. The Men's Open scorecard is dated August 1, 2026.

Judging set the initial five-point sequence

The judging column placed Walker at 5, Hollingshead at 10, Palacios at 15, Griffen at 20, and Duncan at 25. The next three rows continued the sequence: Patrick Moore at 30, Kennedy Anyanwu at 35, and Daan Mansens at 40. Vincenzo Masone followed at 47.

That first phase produced a clear order through the top nine. The finals column then changed three of those figures while leaving the first two and fifth through eighth unchanged.

Finals separated Palacios and Griffen

Walker and Hollingshead repeated 5 and 10 in finals. Palacios moved from 15 to 18; Griffen moved from 20 to 17. Their totals landed at 33 and 37, preserving Palacios in third and Griffen in fourth. Duncan recorded 25 in both columns for 50.

Masone was the other athlete in the top nine with different component figures, moving from 47 in judging to 46 in finals. The complete run was:

Place	Athlete	Judging	Finals	Total
1	Nick Walker	5	5	10
2	James Hollingshead	10	10	20
3	Joseph Palacios	15	18	33
4	Charles Griffen	20	17	37
5	Jonarthur Duncan	25	25	50
6	Patrick Moore	30	30	60
7	Kennedy Anyanwu	35	35	70
8	Daan Mansens	40	40	80
9	Vincenzo Masone	47	46	93

The Men's Open scorecard supplies each component and total. Walker led Hollingshead by 10 in the total column. The gap from Hollingshead to Palacios was 13, then narrowed to four between Palacios and Griffen. Duncan sat 13 behind Griffen and 10 ahead of Moore.

Tim Budesheim completed the top ten with 48 in judging, 49 in finals, and 97 total. Walter Martin placed 11th at 110, Robert Wilmote 12th at 120, Gianluca Di Lorenzo 13th at 130, Ethan Grossman 14th at 138, and Anthony Altamirano 15th at 150. James Decamp, Brandon Alexander, Denver Chandy, Rasheed Oldacre, and Brian Rupert share 16th with totals of 160. The Open card therefore contains 20 placed athletes, with a five-way shared place at the bottom.

Moore's sixth-place result is a useful link in the August sequence: two weeks later, he won the 2026 Texas Pro with a total of 8. Anyanwu also appeared in Irving, where he placed third. The repeated names help readers follow how the Open order changed from Tampa to Texas.

Ten open division winners in Tampa

Tampa's official page carries a much broader program than Men's Open. The open division winners were:

Division	Winner	Country	Total
Men's Bodybuilding Open	Nick Walker	USA	10
Men's 212 Bodybuilding	Courage Opara	USA	6
Classic Physique	Kyrylo Khudaiev	USA	5
Men's Physique	Corey Morris	USA	5
Women's Bodybuilding	Paula Ranta	Finland	6
Figure	Tamera Barrett	USA	5
Bikini	Jordan Brannon	USA	5
Women's Physique	Amanda De Carvalho Machado	USA	6
Wellness	Camila Camila Rodrigues	Brazil	5
Fit Model	Svetlana Fedkina	USA	5

Several of those fields had close top-three groupings. Paula Ranta's 6 led Alida Opre at 9 and Ranya Temizkan at 15 in Women's Bodybuilding. Amanda De Carvalho Machado won Women's Physique with 6, followed by Sheronica Henton at 9 and Rachel Daniels at 15. The same 6-9-15 podium totals appeared in Men's 212, where Opara led Felipe Moraes and Dontravious Ballard.

Figure used a 5-10-16 top three: Barrett first, Nicole Zenobia Graham second, and Elizabeth Nieder third. Bikini placed Brannon first at 5, Mahsa Akbarimehr second at 10, and Cassandra De La Rosa third at 15. Fit Model had Fedkina first at 5, Martina Rigolli second at 10, and Emma Henderson third at 15.

Classic Physique and Men's Physique produced different middle gaps. Khudaiev's 5 led Gabriel Zancanelli at 10 and Matthew Greggo at 17 in Classic. Morris's 5 led Kaique Santos at 10 and Rhyan Clark at 15 in Men's Physique. The open Wellness top three was Camila Camila Rodrigues at 5, Danai Theodoropoulou at 10, and Pamela Rodrigues at 15.

Beyond these open fields, the event page contains extensive Masters scorecards divided by age and category. They are separate results from the open tables summarized here and can be read directly on the official page.

Men's Bodybuilding alone spans six Masters age groups. Walter Martin won 40+ with 5. Juan Salmon led both 45+ and 50+ with 5 in each table. Darren South won 55+ at 5 and 60+ at 5, while Marc Demers led the 70+ result with 5. The repeated winners show how one athlete can appear in more than one age-group scorecard within the same Tampa program.

What this Tampa result establishes

The published card supports the placings, component figures, and division winners above. It does not publish judges' explanations or state an Olympia placing, forecast, or future entry for Walker or anyone else. Those questions require separate records, so the result here ends with Tampa.

The next major Men's Open stop in this handoff is Texas, followed by Regan Grimes's win at the 2026 Austrian Oak. Tampa's own headline remains Walker's 10-point total, built from matching 5s, with Hollingshead second and Palacios third.
