Saudi Arabia have agreed on a deal with the World Snooker Tour to create a Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters. The tournament which will take place from 31st August to 7th November, will offer a £2 million prize fund, second only to the World Championship.

The event will be a ranking event open to all tour players, plus six local wildcards. This new tournament will be in the same category as snooker’s triple crown tournaments (UK Open, The Masters and the Snooker World Championship).

The powers that be have announced a new tournament in the Kingdom and The Saudi Masters will follow the Riyadh Season World Masters, a non-ranking event for the world’s top eight players.

This tournament in Saudi’s capital will see there be an extra 20-point golden ball for a player who completes a 147-maximum break.
