SYDNEY:
Australia is set to organise a ranking tournament for the first time as World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn aims to expand the game’s reach. The Australian Goldfields Open is scheduled to take place in Bendigo from July 18 to July 24.
“Snooker is going global like never before,” said Hearn. “We also have new events in Thailand and Brazil within the next few months, plus many more in the pipeline.”
