World Open (snooker)

The World Open is a snooker tournament. It started out in 1982 as the Professional Players Tournament, but for most of the 1980s and 1990s it was known as the Grand Prix. It was renamed the LG Cup from 2001 to 2003. It was then the Grand Prix until 2010. Since then it has been known as the World Open.

During 2006 and 2007, it was played in a round-robin format. The knock-out format returned in 2008 with an FA Cup-style draw. The random draw was abandoned after the 2010 edition. Judd Trump is the reigning champion, having won the tournament the last two times it was held, in 2019 and 2024.
