NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Judd Trump is continuing his quest for snooker to attract a younger and wider audience, saying many tournaments on the calendar are run by people in their ‘late 50s or 60s’ who ‘don’t know how to appeal to the younger generation.’
The world number three has regularly spoken out about dress codes, commentary and general promotion of the sport, wanting it to bring in younger fans and a new batch of upcoming players.
The 33-year-old says his game has even been impacted by a growing focus on how the sport can grow.
‘It’s been up and down [this season], I feel like in snooker terms, maybe it’s affecting me more with what’s going on. I don’t feel like the tour has really improved over the last two years,’ Trump told ITV.
