John Higgins Contemplates Crucible World Snooker Championship Exit

John Higgins a four times World Snooker Champion believes that the iconic Crucible Theatre may no longer host the championship in the future with the current agreement set to expire in 2027. Higgins who is preparing for his 30th appearance at the event acknowledges the sentimental value of the Crucible but suggests that changes in the snooker landscape could lead to a move.

He highlights the prestige of winning at the Crucible despite potential financial incentives elsewhere. Speculation surrounds possible new venues in Saudi Arabia, China or larger venues in the UK. The Crucible limited capacity often results in high demand for tickets. Higgins expresses optimism about his performance in the upcoming championship and reflects on his enduring career in the sport.
