2024 Tour Championship: Schedule, TV Coverage, and Prize Money

The 2024 Tour Championship kicked off in Manchester on Monday, April 1, with the world’s top 12 snooker players ready to battle it out for the prestigious title. This unique event, which moves to a different UK city each year, has seen previous winners like Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump compete in thrilling matches across the country.

This year, O’Sullivan and Trump are set to face off against 10 other challengers, with the absence of previous winners Shaun Wilson and Kyren Wilson adding an extra layer of excitement to the competition. Unlike other tournaments where defending champions are automatically seeded, the Tour Championship relies on the one-year rankings list to determine its participants, making it a truly unpredictable event.

For fans looking to catch all the action, ITV in the UK will be broadcasting matches on both ITV1 and ITV4, with live streaming available on ITVX. Eurosport subscribers can also tune in via their TV or the Discovery+ streaming service. In the USA, DAZN will be the go-to platform for snooker enthusiasts, while viewers from other regions can watch the event on the World Snooker Tour’s streaming channel, WST.TV.

With a total prize fund of £500,000 up for grabs, including a £150,000 payout for the winner, the stakes are high for all players involved. In addition to the cash prize, the player with the highest break of the tournament will also receive an extra £10,000 bonus, adding an extra incentive for players to showcase their skills on the green baize.

As the Tour Championship unfolds over the next seven days, fans can expect to witness some of the best snooker action the sport has to offer, with intense matches and thrilling moments sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for updates on the tournament schedule and results as the world’s top players battle it out for snooker supremacy.
