WST and the WPBSA will offer a prize of £40,000 for a 147 made at the Crucible during the 2023 Cazoo World Championship, and £10,000 for a maximum made during the qualifying rounds.
These bonuses are on top of the £15,000 high break prize which will apply throughout the whole event.
Last year at the Crucible, Neil Robertson became the eighth player to make a 147 at the famous venue. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Cliff Thorburn’s Crucible maximum, the first made in Sheffield.
The qualifying rounds at the English Institute of Sport – Sheffield run from April 3rd to 12th, followed by the main event from April 15th to May 1st.
If more than one player makes a 147, then the prize money will be shared equally.
