The finest players in world snooker will convene at the Crucible for a shot at glory in the World Snooker Championship in 2022.
A host of superstars will head into the tournament determined to prove their credentials among the very best in the sport with the prestigious crown on offer.
Not only will the eventual winner claim the honour of the World Snooker Championship title, but they will walk away with a hefty prize money cheque with more than £2 million up for grabs.
Reigning champion Mark Selby – who toppled Shaun Murphy 18-15 in last year’s final – walked away with a cool half a million and he will return to the table seeking to defend his title in 2022.
Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump and in-form Neil Robertson are all in contention this year and will hope to avoid early exits that are all too common when the biggest show in snooker rolls into Sheffield.
All entrants will receive prize money amounts depending on their success but there are additional bonuses based on highest televised breaks and a big bonus for anyone who achieves a maximum break of 147.
