World Pool Championship 2025 prize money: What is the record-breaking pot in Saudi?
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 World Pool Championship crown.
This victory also meant that Gorst etched his name in history as the youngest ever to win multiple titles.
But The Ghost will need to fend off his biggest rivals such 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 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.

James Milner to wear number 20 at Brighton in memory of Diogo Jota
James Milner will wear the number 20 shirt at Brighton this season in memory of the late Diogo Jota, describing his former Liverpool team-mate as a 'great friend'. The Portuguese forward died aged 28 last month in a car crash, alongside his brother Andre Silva, just weeks after helping Liverpool clinch Premier League title glory. Liverpool have retired the number 20 jersey worn by Jota in his five seasons at Anfield, three of them alongside Milner before the veteran England midfielder moved to Brighton in the summer of 2023. With Carlos Baleba opting to have 17 on his back ahead of the 2025/26 campaign and vacating 20, Milner, who has been Brighton's number six, has swooped in to pay a touching tribute to Jota. 'Once I heard Carlos was looking to change his number and 20 was available, I wanted to do it as a mark of respect and pay tribute to Diogo Jota,' Milner said on the club's X channel. 'He was an amazing player who I was fortunate to play with and a great friend as well. 'It will be a great honour to wear his number in the Premier League this year.' Milner – whose contract was extended by Brighton in June for another season, which will take him past his 40th birthday – was among a number of Jota's former team-mates who attended his funeral in July. With 638 Premier League appearances already to his name, he sits within striking distance of Gareth Barry's all-time record of 653 games.

GK Matt Turner returns to Revolution on loan
August 1 - U.S. men's national team goalkeeper Matt Turner is returning to the New England Revolution on loan from French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais. Turner, the 2021 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, recorded 22 clean sheets in 102 MLS starts for the Revolution from 2018-22. He was also named an MLS All-Star and made the MLS Best XI in 2021. "It is a privilege to return to the club that launched my career," Turner said. "The club that helped me discover who I am as a professional, the club that has always felt like a home away from home. "To have the chance to play in front of the Revolution supporters once again is a priceless feeling and one I've never taken for granted. My family and I have felt their unwavering support throughout these last three years, and I can't wait to wear the Revolution crest again at Gillette Stadium." The loan from Lyon runs through June 30, 2026 and includes an option to purchase. Turner, 31, will fill a designated player spot on the Revs' roster for the remainder of the 2025 season and then will become a TAM-eligible (targeted allocation money) player in 2026. "When the opportunity arose to bring Matt Turner back to the Revolution, we were glad to act swiftly to welcome one of the most talented players ever to represent the club," sporting director Curt Onalfo said. "Matt's talent and leadership will make our squad stronger now and in the future. We look forward to having Matt and his family back in New England." Turner left New England in February 2022 to join Premier League side Arsenal for a reported $6 million transfer fee. He moved to Nottingham Forest in 2023 and went on loan to Crystal Palace in 2024. He joined Lyon this summer in advance of the 2025-26 season. Turner has earned 52 caps with the USMNT, serving as the starter for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and winning titles at the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2021 and CONCACAF Nations League in 2022-23 and 2023-24. Slovenia's Aljaz Ivacic, 31, has been New England's primary goalkeeper this season, recording eight clean sheets in 24 starts. The Revolution (6-11-7, 25 points) are currently 11th in the MLS Eastern Conference, 10 points out of the playoff picture. --Field Level Media
