Snooker from Saudi Arabia

JAM said:
A 147 break at the Saudi Arabia Masters is worth $67,675 (£50,000). Ronnie makes two, so that gives him $135,550 (£100,000).

Winner receives $677,760 (£500,000), and second place pays $271,000 (£200,000).

If Ronnie wins the Saudi Arabia Masters, he will take home $813,300 (£600,000).

Right now, if he loses, he's guaranteed $406,500 (£300,000).

The total purse of the Saudi Arabia masters is $3,120,321 (£2,302,000) total purse.

As an aside, this year's U.S. Open in tennis is set for a total $1 billion purse: The men's and women's singles champions at the 2025 U.S. Open will each take home $5 million, up 39% from the $3.6 million awarded in 2024, making it the largest winning payout in the sport.

Let's hope pool be on the rise in payouts as well in the coming years. We've got the Saudi Arabia World Championship with a $500,000 total purse, which is a great start.

Actually the reward for a maximum is £50k, but there is a special bonus for maximums if you make two in major events, you get additional £147k for each two. Meaning that if you make four, you get £294k up to £441k for six. Now at Saudi Open someone already made a 147 and now Ronnie with two is getting two thirds of that £50k (~33k) plus additional 147k adding up to roughly £180k for two maximums. Not bad 🤓

Wowsa! I did not know that. Thank you for sharing this tidbit. Amazing! That's an additional $243,990 for Ronnie
 
At the commercial break, it's 4-2 at the time of this writing, but as we all know, Ronnie is sometimes a late bloomer.

Check out this shot by Neil. He floated the red in full length of the table. Unfortunately, next shot his misses the black.

Neil Robertson is putting on a master class. Session 1 ends with a score of 6-2 in the race to 10. The stats tell the story. But don't count Ronnie out. He plays his best when he's on his belly. This match is not over.

How big is this event in the snooker world? Is it like the US Open in pool? The Florida Open in pool? Other? Just trying to understand where it is in the pecking order of snooker.
