Snooker stars aiming to strike 147 jackpot with bonus prizes on offer starting at Saudi Arabia Masters

The 2025 Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters - branded as the sport’s ‘fourth major’ by authorities - takes place at the Green Halls between August 8-16. The field consists of 144 players, with all contestants featuring at the main venue.

This will be the second edition of the lucrative tournament; Judd Trump won the inaugural staging last year in Riyadh when he dramatically ousted Mark Williams 10-9 in the final, on the very last black.

That epic victory trousered Trump a top prize of £500,000 - the same amount that Zhao Xintong collected for winning snooker’s blue riband event, the World Championship, earlier this year. Half-a-million will again be the winner’s kitty in the Middle East for this upcoming Saudi instalment.

But players in the tournament might also have their eyes on a couple of big bonus prizes for making a maximum 147 break.

What is the prize for a 147 break at the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters?

There is a £50,000 bonus prize for any player that can make a maximum 147 break during the 2025 Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters - this jackpot is available across all nine rounds.

If more than one 147 break is made during this year’s tournament, the £50,000 will be shared equally.

There is no high break prize at the 2025 Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters, though.

At last year’s inaugural staging, Thailand’s Noppon Saengkham completed the feat of perfection, and as no-one else did later in the event, he kept the £50k all to himself.

Double maximum break bonus returns on World Snooker Tour

The World Snooker Tour has also recently announced that the special £147,000 bonus prize for a ‘double maximum’ returns this season.

If a player can make two maximum 147 breaks throughout the season across the Tour’s four biggest events - the Saudi Arabia Masters, UK Championship, Masters, World Championship - they will bank £147k.

This prize is eligible to all players, with matches at qualifying rounds included.

Welsh youngster Jackson Page became the first player to unlock this kitty last season when he memorably constructed two 147s in the same match at the 2025 World Snooker Championship qualifiers.

No player in professional snooker history had previously made more than one maximum within the same match, so Page collected his jackpot in some style!

In total, there is £441,000 attached to this bonus concept; so in theory, if the same player crafted six 147s across the four events this campaign, they would bank the lot.

At the time of writing, two maximum breaks have been made this 2025/26 season: Fan Zhengyi at the Championship League, and Zhang Anda at the Shanghai Masters.
