Top Snooker Stars Heading For Crawley
Mark Selby, John Higgins, Jimmy White, Shaun Murphy, Kyren Wilson and World Champion Mark Williams are among the snooker kings who have already entered next month’s English Open in Crawley.
The world ranking event runs from October 15 to 21 at K2 Crawley with 128 players chasing the Steve Davis trophy and a top prize of £70,000.
The entry deadline for players is October 3rd and many more of the sport’s top stars are expected to join the field before that date.
Ronnie O’Sullivan won the title last year, beating Kyren Wilson in the final in Barnsley. The tournament now moves to Crawley for the first time.
Televised by Eurosport and Quest, it is the first of the season’s Home Nations series, to be followed by tournaments in Belfast, Glasgow and Cardiff. Any player winning all four trophies will bank a massive £1 million bonus.
