World Snooker Championship final schedule, prize money, odds and Kyren Wilson vs Jak Jones head-to-head

Share this with

If anyone says they predicted a Kyren Wilson vs Jak Jones World Snooker Championship final this year then they are a liar, but that is the showpiece that is to come over the next couple of days in Sheffield.

Wilson is into his second Crucible final , so despite a poor season before this tournament it is not a great shock to see him in the final.

However, Jones had to come through qualifying and has never been to a ranking final in his career, so for the 30-year-old to break his duck in the biggest event of all is quite something.

The Welshman only made his Crucible debut last year but quickly proved that he is suited to the venue, reaching the quarter-finals by beating Ali Carter and Neil Robertson.

He has proved that his run in 2023 was no fluke by going all the way to the final this time around , guaranteeing the biggest financial win of his career by a huge margin.

Wilson is into a 14th ranking final so there is no comparison when it comes to experience, but Jones has upset the odds all the way through this event.

The Warrior is the favourite but the Silent Assassin will look to spring yet another surprise and get his hands on the trophy.

World Snooker Championship final schedule

The Crucible final is played over four sessions at 1pm and 7pm on Sunday 05 and Monday 06 May.

The match is a best-of-35, meaning the first man to 18 frames becomes world champion.

Snooker star says 90% of players on tour are skint as chiefs hit back at prize money claim

Former World Championship finalist Ali Carter believes players are not making enough money and thinks the professional snooker tour should be cut in size

Ali Carter insists the majority of players have "got no money" and has told snooker bosses to cut the size of the professional tour.

Snooker chiefs have introduced their first ever 'safety net', designed to offer financial security to the world's top 130 players in the 2022/2023 season. The World Snooker Tour (WST) and WPBSA governing body announced in September that players would receive a guaranteed £20,000 to help fund their careers and cover expenses.

And WST rankings show that players inside the world's top 50 have made at least £85,000 in prize money at ranking events in the last two years.

But world No.15 Carter , who won £80,000 for his German Masters title this month, believes pro snooker is still a brutal business and the number of players on tour should be sliced so that the elite players can enjoy a good standard of living.

"It's been really tough. Maybe 90% of players on the tour have got no money," Carter, 43, told the BBC's Framed Podcast . "I think the tour should probably be cut, to give a prize that if you do get your tour card, you are guaranteed a living, a good living.

"They're earning nothing, 20 grand a year, 30 grand a year after expenses, maybe less than that. You could go and get a job stacking a shelf in a supermarket [for that], no disrespect to anyone who does that.

"But these boys have put their life into playing snooker from a very young age, so it just seems a little bit unfair to me, that's all."

Stephen Maguire, who recently launched an impassioned rant at snooker's failing bosses , is another high-profile player who believes the pro tour should be cut in numbers.

And world No.1 Ronnie O'Sullivan has previously expressed his frustrations with the perceived lack of financial incentive in a career on the green baize.

But World Snooker organisers have hit back, claiming the lucrative events still gives a host of players ample opportunity to earn big prize money during the course of a season.

A WST statement read: "Our tour is about meritocracy. We have an abundance of talent from many different countries around the globe, the strength in depth on our tour is incredible. There are opportunities for all of them and there are huge rewards for those that succeed.

"This season we brought in an initiative to provide a prize money guarantee to all tour players, ensuring that they have at least £20,000 over the season. This has given them the security of knowing that they have an income and they can budget their season around this."
