The event attracts the world's top snooker players, including defending champion Mark Selby and six-time winner Ronnie O'Sullivan. With a prize pool of over £2 million, it is the richest snooker tournament in the world. The championship consists of 32 top-ranked players, who compete in a single-elimination format until the final, which is played as a best-of-35 frames match.

This highly anticipated event is a must-see for any snooker fan.
