Saudi Arabia Masters 2025 draw, schedule, TV channel, prize money and odds
The tournament offers the same top prize as the World Championship, with the winner claiming £500,000, and as it is a ranking event, careers and lives can be changed in the coming days.
Judd Trump won the first edition of the event last year in Riyadh, beating Mark Williams in the most dramatic fashion in the final.
At 9-9 the Welsh legend made a break of 62 but missed a red, allowing Trump to return to the table, make 72 and win the tournament on the final black.
That saw the Englishman pocket half a million quid, while Williams was handsomely rewarded with £200,000, but did watch Trump cost him a hefty chunk of cash.
Kyren Wilson comes into the event in hot form after winning the Shanghai Masters last weekend, beating Ali Carter in the final.
With the significant prizes on the line, it is a brilliant field in Jeddah, with the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Selby, John Higgins, Mark Allen and world champion Zhao Xintong all in action.
The event runs from August 8-16 at the Green Halls in Jeddah.
It is an unusual run from a Friday to a Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
In the UK the tournament will be shown on TNT Sports and Discovery+.

Last 80: £7,000
Last 112: £4,000
Last 144: £2,000

Chelsea 4 AC Milan 1: Pedro and Delap both score after Italian defender's own goal and red card horror show
The new signings are shining at Chelsea Del delight Chelsea 4 AC Milan 1: Pedro and Delap both score after Italian defender's own goal and red card horror show Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHELSEA showed that pre-season might be merely a formality as they rolled over AC Milan by four goals to one, lifting the coveted VisitMalta Weekender trophy for the second time in three days. The Blues have made two supposedly decent teams look like amateurs, in what were hardly tough tests for Enzo Maresca's young team before playing Crystal Palace in the opening game of their season. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Joao Pedro was on target again to cement his place in the Chelsea XI Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 2 But he has Liam Delap breathing down his neck after a brace against AC Milan Credit: AFP New signing Jamie Gittens announced himself to the world against AC Milan for Borussia Dortmund two seasons ago, who may well be his favourite opponents as he gave their defence, Yunus Musah in particular, a torrid time today. The electric Englishman was perhaps overshadowed by Estevao against Bayer Leverkusen, but put in a performance today that showed he could nutmeg a mermaid in a telephone box if ever put to the test. It was his direct running and trickery that won the free-kick for Chelsea to open the scoring through an Andrei Coubis own goal on the stroke of the 5th minute, after a calamitous mix-up between the Italian and Mike Maignan in the Milan goal. Moments later and Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto combined for the Brazilian to head home his fifth goal in five games. A driving run from Neto down the right was followed by an inch perfect cross, met by a header that could've ripped a hole in the net to add Chelsea's second in as many minutes. He's proving exceptional value for his £60m fee. The Blues continued to dominate until the half-time whistle, helped out on the way by Milan defender Andrei Coubis' afternoon going from bad to worse with a straight red card for bringing down Joao Pedro who was through on goal. The Italian booted a water bottle as he stormed down the tunnel, and rightly so, you may not see a worse 17 minutes at Stamford Bridge this season than that. Cole Palmer went close twice from first-half free-kicks, one that left the post rattling and another which left former Chelsea target Mike Maignan being ridiculed as a 's*** Robert Sanchez'. The Blues' number ten almost went on to recreate Gus Poyet's famous 1999 'scissor volley' minutes later, but his effort just sailed over the bar. Unsurprisingly, it was Rafael Leao who lead the AC Milan charge. He was denied by Robert Sanchez, Tosin and Reece James before finally beating the Spanish stopper, only to see the offside flag raised on the near side. Half-time brought the introduction of six-time Champions League winner, Ballon D'or winner and Swansea part-owner Luka Modric into the middle for Milan. The Croatian was left chasing the shadows of Chelsea's young and energetic midfield throughout the second half, his only highlight being a tame shot claimed by Robert Sanchez. After the disastrous news that future captain Levi Colwill required surgery on an ACL injury, Enzo Maresca will have winced as Trevoh Chalobah was forced off with a knock in the 56th minute and replaced by Josh Acheampong, Milan grew into the game in the second half, and simply had to score when Yunus Musah rolled the ball past Robert Sanchez before Reece James arrived on the scene to put that fire out. Expectedly, a flurry of Chelsea changes came with 30 minutes to go, and unsurprisingly it was teenage prodigy Estevao replacing Cole Palmer that drew the biggest cheer at Stamford Bridge. It took the 18-year-old exactly five minutes to be involved in another Chelsea goal, as he was brought down inside the box, allowing Delap to rifle a penalty into the bottom left corner. The rest of his touches brought an expectant gasp out of everyone in the stadium, as he danced and dazzled with fancy footwork in front of the Matthew Harding stand. AC Milan got a consolation goal, courtesy of Youssaf Fofana who smashed the ball past Robert Sanchez at the near post with 20 minutes to go, assisted by Alexis Saelemaekers. Just when fans thought that would be game, set, and match, Chelsea added a fourth and final goal. Andrey Santos' perfectly weighted ball into the path of Liam Delap allowed the English striker to make it a brace with a fine finish into the bottom left corner.

Rio Ferdinand's big-name TNT Sports replacement for season revealed after Man Utd legend's exit
It comes after a host of changes for the broadcaster NEW BLOOD Rio Ferdinand's big-name TNT Sports replacement for season revealed after Man Utd legend's exit Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TNT SPORTS have finally confirmed Rio Ferdinand's replacement for the season ahead of their debut Community Shield coverage.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Gareth Bale is Rio Ferdinand's replacement as TNT Sports pundit Gareth Bale has joined TNT Sports as one of the broadcaster's main pundits this season, according to The Guardian. The deal for the 2025-26 campaign will see the former Real Madrid and Wales forward work on the broadcaster's coverage of the Premier League and Champions League. Bale will join TNT's lineup of former Tottenham team-mate Peter Crouch and Chelsea legend Joe Cole in their live coverage of the Premier League on Saturday lunchtimes. Owen Hargreaves, Steve McManaman, Ally McCoist and Karen Carney will also be among the broadcaster's pundits for next season. The former international winger reportedly impressed TNT executives with his analysis of Tottenham's victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final. It is a bold move from the broadcaster after Ferdinand and Bale locked horns during the match, awkwardly disagreeing in reaction to Brennan Johnson's goal, which sealed his former side's first trophy since 2008. The 36-year-old has become a familiar fixture for TNT viewers, having previously been used in their coverage of Liverpool's Champions League group game against Real Madrid.

They have also secured a four-year deal to show FA Cup games, though the BBC will still air a total of 14 matches, including two quarter-finals, one semi-final and the final.
