REYES CUP 
!
The World Nineball Tour announced on its site the formation of the Reyes Cup, a brand-new Invitational event that will see Asia’s finest players take on Team Europe in year one of the event on October 17th-20th in Manila, Philippines.
The inaugural Reyes Cup is in honour of pool’s greatest player and tournament namesake, Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes. A world champion and US Open Pool Championship winner, widely regarded as the sport’s greatest-ever player, serving as inspiration for millions of pool fans across the globe.
“Given the storied history the Philippines has on the sport, it is only right that we honour Efren in his home country. It was a privilege to welcome him and dear friend Putch Puyat to the Hanoi Open last year. Efren’s passion for the sport has been unwavering for over 50 years, he is the perfect figurehead for this tournament and our sport” said Matchroom Multi Sport CEO, Emily Frazer.
The event came into reality with Matchroom partnering with Puyat Sports Inc. and Sky Sports as the broadcaster for the UK and Ireland.
