THE Riyadh Season Snooker Championship will take place this WEEK.
Ronnie O’Sullivan will be looking to put an end to his poor recent run of form and successfully defend his title in the Middle East.
In March, Rocket beat former world champion Luca Brecel 5-2 in the final to secure a huge £250,000 payday.
O’Sullivan, Judd Trump and Kyren Wilson are among the top 10 players on snooker’s official ranking list who have been granted entry to this week’s blockbuster tournament.
Two additional wildcards will feature in Riyadh, with Saudi Arabian stars Abdulraouf Saigh and Abdulraouf Saigh testing themselves against the sport’s best.
The 12 players competing will have a chance to make history with the unique Golden Ball set to feature once again.
The Golden Ball is worth 20 points and can only be potted at the end of a 147 – creating the possibility of a player to score a break of 167 – which would be the highest break in snooker history.
You won’t want to miss this week’s Riyadh Season Snooker Championship – and you can catch all the action for absolutely nothing!
