Exciting news today as World Snooker have confirmed that this season’s Wembley Masters will be sponsored by major gambling firm Ladbrokes. The sponsor will be paying a six figure fee and the tournament known as the Ladbrokes Mobile Masters.
Having watched a fair amount of darts in the past I am familiar with Ladbrokes as a sponsor of a major tournament through their association with the World Championship and there is no reason to believe that their involvement with snooker will be anything other than a positive for the sport.
