World Snooker Championship 2024 prize money confirmed
Your complete guide to the World Snooker Championship 2024 prize money.
Winning the World Snooker Championship doesn't just etch your name into the history books of a global sport - it can line your wallet for years to come, thanks to the prize money up for grabs.
Another hefty total, just short of £2.5 million, will be split between competitors at the Crucible in Sheffield in the weeks to come.
However, while the payday is more than healthy, reigning champion Luca Brecel infamously burned through his cash mountain following the 2023 tournament.
He immediately splashed £350,000 of his winnings on a Ferrari 488, and reportedly added other cars including a Range Rover and Porsche to his collection, deliberately forgoing his status as a millionaire in the process to "maybe feel that bit of pressure again, to recreate the feeling I had of just starting my career".
It's an unusual tactic, but all eyes will be on Brecel to see if he can defend the crown he stunned the world to claim.
