World Open 2024 | Draw, Live Scores and Schedule of Play

The World Open makes its long-awaited return to the snooker calendar, and you can follow the latest results and schedule of play here.

Back on the tour after a five-year absence, the tournament will be played from March 18-24 at Yushan Sports Centre.

The 15th ranking event of the 2023-24 season offers a prize fund of £815,000, with the winner pocketing a cheque for £170,000.

Most of the players were required to win a qualifying round match in order to secure a place in the main draw, with the qualifiers having taken place in Barnsley in January.

Although, qualifying matches involving defending champion Judd Trump, reigning World champion Luca Brecel, the two highest-ranked Chinese players (Ding Junhui and Zhang Anda), and four Chinese wildcards were held over to be played at the main venue.

Trump, who lifted the trophy in the most recent edition of the event in 2019, is one of the seven champions since it was renamed the World Open in 2010.

Five more of them – Neil Robertson, Mark Allen, Shaun Murphy, Ali Carter and Ding – will also participate, although 2018 winner Mark Williams chose not to enter.

There are plenty more big names on display in Yushan including world number one Ronnie O’Sullivan, who is eyeing a sixth trophy of the season, as well as John Higgins, Kyren Wilson and recently crowned Championship League winner Mark Selby.

Matches up to and including the quarter-finals are to be contested over the best of nine frames, with semi-finals best of 11 and the final best of 19.
