Another piece of good news to come out of today is that the six Players Tour Championship events scheduled to take place at the Academy in Sheffield will now be sponsored by tournament table supplier STAR…
Or to give them their full title, Star Xing Pai.
The value of the sponsorship is unknown but any sponsor has to be welcomed and can only help the hunt for sponsors for bigger tournaments such as the World Open in the months ahead.
Let’s just hope that some of that money can be used to finance some TV cameras at the Academy in the near future…
