"If you want to grow the game, I always say there’s a huge section of the pie just sitting there. A lot of it has to do with accessibility," says Champ. "A lot of it has to do with the time, the era the game came up in. It’s taken generations for it to kick into another gear," he says. Through the event, winners with little experience can also get exemptions to play in major tournaments. Champ says it's about finding talent where others won't look."Back home in my community [we’re] targeting those areas because we grew up there, we’re comfortable there, we know the slang, we know how to get to those kids," he adds.
