THERE’S no letting up in the snooker roadshow as some of the world’s best return to the table for the 2025 British Open tournament.
Mark Selby swept John Higgins aside by beating the Scotsman 10-5 to lift last year’s crown.

And the English ace banked a whopping £100,000 just for winning the showpiece match alone.
But if Selby is to receive another huge pay cheque in Cheltenham, he’ll have to overcome the likes of World No1 and current World Champion, Zhao Xintong, as they’ll both feature.
However, Ronnie O’Sullivan has once again left fans disappointed with the snooker legend revealing that in this year’s competition.
