Judd Trump says he 'wouldn't get out of bed' for breakaway snooker tour but admits a Ronnie O'Sullivan exit would 'damage' the sport

Snooker star Judd Trump says he 'wouldn't get out of bed' for a breakaway tour with the 2019 world champion valuing the sport's 'history and heritage'. There has been speculation some of the sport's biggest names could be tempted to leave the present World Snooker Tour [WST] and play in a more lucrative series of exhibitions. But Trump, 34, who beat Tom Ford 13-7 to reach the Crucible quarter-finals on Saturday, said he'd already rejected offers to quit the WST.

Hearn, the former World Snooker chairman and president of Matchroom, says there is no room for sentiment when the venue's current deal expires in 2027 - its 50th anniversary of staging the Championships - adding: 'It's all about the money.' Speculation over the future of the venue was sparked in the build-up to this year's tournament by seven-time winner Ronnie O'Sullivan (bottom right), who suggested it should be moved to either Saudi Arabia or China in order to maximise profit potential.
