Judd Trump won the inaugural Saudi Arabia Masters in Green Halls, Riyadh. He beat Mark Williams 10-9 in the final with one of the all-time great deciding frame clearances.
This tournament is part of an exciting legacy commitment with the Ministry of Sport for Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Arabian Billiard & Snooker Federation, aiming to develop snooker and pool in the region over next decade.
The 2024 Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters was contested by 144 players including 17 wild card players selected by the Saudi Arabian Billiard & Snooker Federation.
WST Chairman, Steve Dawson said: “This event proved to be a fantastic celebration of snooker, and for all of the players it was an amazing opportunity to visit the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, enjoy the culture and meet the fans. This is a huge ten-year partnership which will focus on developing participation in snooker at all levels."
The major ten-year deal for this event also includes the World Pool Championship – the crown jewel of the World Nineball Tour – which was staged in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2024.
As part of Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia has emerged as a premier destination for some of the biggest global sports events, embracing both male and female athletes. From football and motorsports to tennis, equestrian, and esports, Saudi Arabia has welcomed over 2.6 million enthusiastic sports fans to witness these world-class competitions.
