THIS year’s Wuhan Open Snooker prize pot has been revealed and some of the world’s best will be battling it out for the cash.
Xiao Guodong came out on top in last year’s all-Chinese final against Si Jiahui.
X-factor clinched the crown by beating his fellow countryman 10-7 in what turned out to be a blockbuster match.
And the Chinese icon earned himself a £147,000 payday along with securing his first-ever ranking title.
But if Guodong is to receive another whopping pay cheque from this tournament, he’ll have to fend off the likes of World No 1 Judd Trump and English star Kyren Wilson who are both set to feature.
However, snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan will not participate as the seven-time world champion has pulled out due to medical reasons.
SunSport can reveal exactly how much can be won at the Wuhan Open Snooker 2025.
