Snooker in Saudi

It’s a rather quiet morning for Saudi in the foreign press, save for a feature from CNNSports on Saudi’s recent foray into the snooker world. The precursor for the World Snooker Championship will be moving to Saudi as early as next year after the Kingdom signed a “lucrative” agreement with World Snooker Tour, the organizers of the event, marking a change that CNN Sports says is a smart business move as Saudi Arabia “offers the key” to larger purses and venues for the event.
