The 2019 World Snooker Championship begins this weekend with live TV coverage on the BBC.
The tournament will be played at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, starting on Saturday 20 April, with the final to be played on Sunday and Monday, 5-6 May.
Wales’ Mark Williams, at the age of 43, pulled off a major shock to win his third world title in 2018, beating John Higgins 18-16 in the final to become the second oldest winner in Crucible history.
This year’s winner will be awarded £500,000, with the total prize fund of more than £2m the largest ever at a snooker event.
