World Snooker is delighted to announce Wyldecrest Park Homes as the title sponsor of next week's World Seniors Championship.
The new tournament, which will be called the Wyldecrest Park Homes World Seniors Championship, will feature many of the sport's legends, with seven former world champions in the line up.
Steve Davis, Dennis Taylor, Cliff Thorburn, Joe Johnson, John Parrott, Peter Ebdon, Ken Doherty, Nigel Bond and People's Champion Jimmy White will be battling for the £20,000 top prize in the event which runs from November 5 to 7 at the Cedar Court Hotel in Bradford.
Wyldecrest is one of England's largest mobile home park operators, priding itself on having high quality parks and giving residents a peaceful and stress free life.
Alfie Best, chairman of Wyldecrest, said: "We are very excited to be sponsoring such a prestigious event with so many famous players involved - many of whom are household names and idols for snooker fans. The tournament is a great fit for Wyldecrest and should give excellent exposure to our brand. We're all looking forward to what will be a brilliant three days in Bradford."
World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn said: "We are very pleased to bring a new title sponsor on board in Wyldecrest. They have previously sponsored our Premier League Bowls event so we know about the quality of their operation.
"The World Seniors will be a fantastic event for anyone who loves snooker. There are some great characters involved so it will be a lot of fun, with the players all determined to land the top prize."
The event will be broadcast on Sky Sports, with seven one-hour programmes to be screened between December 20 and January 2. World Snooker are also in discussions for international broadcast.
The first day of the event, Friday November 5, includes an outstanding evening of entertainment with a Sportsman's Dinner, a charity auction hosted by Willie Thorne, comedy and music from Steve Womack and the chance to meet all of the players.
