The World Grand Prix is a professional ranking snooker tournament comprising the top 32 players on the one-year ranking list. After the inaugural 2015 edition was staged as a non-ranking event, the tournament became a ranking tournament the following year; the first two editions were staged at the Venue Cymru in Llandudno, Wales. [1] In 2019, the World Grand Prix became one of three tournaments in the Players Series, together with the Players Championship and the Tour Championship. Held at various venues in England between 2017 and 2024, the tournament moved to Hong Kong in 2025, the first time it was staged outside the United Kingdom. [2]
Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump are the most successful players in the event's history, each having won the title three times. The highest break in the tournament's history is a 146 by Trump at the 2025 event. The reigning champion is Neil Robertson.
The World Grand Prix was held as a non-ranking event in March 2015 in Llandudno, Wales, for the top 32 players on the World Grand Prix list. The list was based on a one-year ranking system. From 2016, the World Grand Prix has been held as a ranking event. In 2019, the tournament was included in the newly created Coral Cup, and branded as "Coral World Grand Prix". The sponsor changed to Cazoo in 2021, [3] then to Duelbits in 2023. [4] The series was renamed the Players Series in 2021.
