Bergman has said he plans to play in most WNT events in the US this year. He said he considered going to the European Open but had already committed to an Ultimate Pool event.
Yet he also reiterated in a weekend interview he did not like “living out of a suitcase.” Implied he doesn’t like to go to back-to-back events, either.
I am skeptical he will make it to a major overseas event. My guess is the WPC would be the most likely. Or the UK Open.
If he is really committed simply to trying, he will play in the Florida, Arizona and US opens. But he probably needs to play in a few of the smaller U.S. events, too. We will see.
As for the WNT break, sjm, he did get a chance to shoot it at the PLP. And he seemed to do quite well after some adjustment, I seem to recall.
Still, watching him play in the PLP and ongoing Predator event in St. Louis, he shows his absence from the tour with some bad misses on easy shots. He’s look great, then a mistake.
That can’t be overcome without more dedication to a tour. He said he just bought a new table with tight, MR style pockets to improve his consistency.
