The World Snooker Championship continues this week as the tournaments approaches the quarterfinal stage.
With defending champion Kyren Wilson already out, there will be a different name on the famous trophy in 2025.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is chasing a record eighth world title, veterans John Higgins and Mark Williams are still in the hunt, although second seed and world No. 1 Judd Trump looks the man to beat.
Whoever emerges victorious this year will earn a sizeable amount of prize money, while there are a handful of bonuses up for grabs — including one for some lucky spectators.
The Sporting News breaks down how the 2025 prize pot looks.

World Snooker Championship: 147 and highest break bonuses
The player who makes the highest break at the Crucible will receive a bonus of £15,000, the same sum as last year.
However, that bonus has already been increased to £40,000 and awarded to Mark Allen after his 147 break in his second-round defeat to Chris Wakelin. Should another player manage a maximum, the prize will be shared.
Allen's 147 also earned a lucky fan a windfall of £25,000, with tournament sponsors Midnite Sports and Casino having pledged to award the prize to one spectator at random for each maximum achieved.
Judd Trump won an additional bonus of £100,000 in his last-16 match with Shaun Murphy, but this was not part of the prize pot for the world championship. Instead, the sum was awarded after he recorded his 100th century break of the snooker season.
