UK Championship snooker 2024 prize money: How much payout for grabs as O’Sullivan, Williams and Trump head to York.?
Snooker great Ronnie O'Sullivan starts his bid for a record-extending ninth UK Championship title at York Barbican on Saturday.
O'Sullivan, who celebrates his 49th birthday four days after this year's final on 1 December, is the defending champion and top seed for the first of this season's Triple Crown events.
However, the Rocket has only won one title since beating Ding Junhui 10-7 in the final last year and has yet to reach a final this season, losing in the first round of last week's Champion of Champions.
What is the Purse, prize fund at the UK Championship Snooker 2024.?
O'Sullivan, who celebrates his 49th birthday four days after this year's final on 1 December, is the defending champion and top seed for the first of this season's Triple Crown events.
Out of a total prize fund of £1,205,000 Purse, the winner will receive their share about £250,000, while there is a very nice bonus for the highest break.
