World Snooker Championship 2019 prize money: How much Judd Trump lands after final victory

The Crucible in Sheffield is the home to the big one: The World Snooker Championship.

It is the event that all snooker players want to win. First of all for the prestige, but also for the tidy sum of money on offer for doing so.

And in 2019, there is a record total on offer for winner Judd Trump.

The Juddernaut roared to a first World Championship title with a stunning 18-9 victory over four-time winner John Higgins.

Now he takes home half a million pounds - one of the richest prizes available for success on the baize.

It is a significant hike on the prize money for finishing second.

By coming runner-up, Higgins only takes home £200,000 - less than half of the amount of rival Trump.

The losing semi-finalists, this year being Gary Wilson and David Gilbert, each take home a £100,000 payday.

However, there are other ways to make money from playing in the World Snooker Championship.

If you were to secure the highest break of the tournament on the TV tables, you will take home an additional £10,000.

For the highest non-TV break it is £1,000.

But perhaps the most attractive way of making some extra cash is to land a 147 break in the World Championship, with organisers putting the prize money up to £50,000 to go the whole way.

No player hit a 147 break heading into the final and while Higgins went close, neither could manage it in Monday's finale.
