Efren “Bata” Reyes, Francisco “Django” Bustamante, Earl Strickland, and Ralf Souquet will all go head-to-head in a showdown of billiards legends at the WNT Legends tournament in Quezon City.
Four icons. Three days. One tournament that promises to be nothing short of historic.
Filipino cue stars Efren “Bata” Reyes and Francisco “Django” Bustamante headline the WNT Legends, joined by American great Earl Strickland and Germany’s Ralf Souquet for a three-day billiards showcase from January 21-23, 2026 at Gateway Mall, Quezon City.
Part of the World Nineball Tour in partnership with Puyat Sports, the event is a celebration of the sport’s legacy, rivalry, and personality.
Matches will follow a race-to-11, alternate-break format, ensuring that each legend takes the table daily and fans witness multiple memorable showdowns.
Play starts at 10:00 a.m. each day at the same venue that hosted last year’s Philippine Open, where David Alcaide claimed the title over Arseni Sevastyanov.
Fans can catch primetime coverage on One Sports, while local viewers can stream the action live via the Pilipinas Live app.
