Following Martin Gould’s withdrawal from the 2024 Cazoo World Snooker Championship, the WPBSA has considered the position in relation to his tour place.
This is following an application for a medical exemption which was lodged with the WPBSA earlier in the season, at a time Martin was forced to withdraw from several major ranking events, due to injury.
Having considered the all of the facts, the WPBSA, in consultation with WST, has now offered Martin a 12-month extension to his tour place. Martin will retain his current earned prize money points and this decision will not affect other current tour players.
The WPBSA, WPBSA Players and WST wish Martin all the best and look forward to seeing him back competing next season.
