THIS year’s World Pool Championship has intensified a little more than usual as organisers have revealed the record-breaking prize money.
Fedor Gorst survived Eklent Kaci’s inspirational fightback before winning the 2024 title with a 15-14 scoreline.

And the Russian-born American resident took home a huge amount of money for securing his second crown.
This victory also meant that Gorst etched his name in history as the youngest ever to win multiple titles and could now equal the all-time record with Earl Strickland.
But The Ghost will need to fend off his biggest rivals at the 2025 World Pool Championship – with the likes of as Spanish sensation Francisco Sanchez Ruiz and Scottish superstar, Jayson Shaw if he is to secure another mammoth Worlds payday.
However, Gorst needs to keep an eye on some of the other competitors who will be spurred on by the record-breaking prize money.
What is the World Pool Championship 2025 prize money?
This year’s crown jewel of the World Nineball Tour will witness a record prize fund of $1MILLION (£850,000).
And a staggering $250,000 (£185,000) awaits the champion.
All eyes will be on Fedor Gorst to see whether he can retain his title after a dramatic triumph over Eklent Kaci in 2024.
Or will fans witness the rise of a new World Champion.
