Will Steve Davis still be on the main tour when he's 60?

Steve Davis qualified for the UK Championship at the ripe old age of 55.

Do you still think he'll be around when he's 60? Is it possible? I assume he'd have to win more than he's doing at the moment when the Prize Money rankings kick in.

Imagine a top-16 player playing a 60 year old Steve at the UK Championships in 2017.

Bear in mind the tour is going up to 128 players as of next season so id imagine that the top 96 will stay on tour going forward so hes going to have more of a safety net with regards to ranking and dropping off tour.

I dont think hed be much worse off under a money ranking list than he is at present tbh, bear in mind hes qualified for the UK, one of the biggest prize money rankers on the tour and does tend to raise his game for the biggest events.

I think he will stay on till hes 60 barring exceptional circumstances like health issues, fading eyesight or Wild shooting him.

I think he will be and will most likely retire at that time. He still looks in good shape so you never know.

I also wouldn't rule out him winning a PTC at some stage.

its only 5 years so id imagine he will hang on if hes happy with a few scraps then that's his right.

I have every faith that the Higgins win wont be his last ever win at the Crucible though if it is then i suppose beating the defending champion was the ideal way to sign off as far as the Crucible goes

Very true, I'd forgotten that.
