But he will now be eligible to play on the Seniors Tour, along with every other player aged 40 or over.
Nine tour events will take place in the 2025/26 season.
The winner’s cheque will be doubled each weekend to £1,000 with prize money paid down to the last 16.
Last season a prize pot of £50,000 was paid out in the World Seniors Snooker Championship, with winner Alfie Burden picking up £20,000.
Jason Francis, Chairman of WSS, said: “This season there are a lot more players eligible to play, including a number of WST professionals, and we have pledged £27,000 in prize money across our nine events which is more than double the amount that was on offer last season.
“If you are over 40, now is the time to dust off your cue and come and enjoy some friendly but serious competition.”
The first tournament of the new season takes place between August 15-17.
The season runs until April, with a month’s break between December 14 and January 16.
