In January, the Morningside Arena in Leicester will host the World Grand Prix, featuring top baize players such as Judd Trump, Ronnie O’Sullivan, John Higgins, Mark Williams, Shaun Murphy, local favorite Mark Selby, and defending champion Mark Allen. Allen emerged victorious in last season’s thrilling final against Trump. The event, which runs from January 15 to 21, will showcase only the best 32 players from the one-year ranking list. Tickets are available now starting at £20, with all-day tickets to the final on Sunday January 21 priced at £65. The tournament kicks off on Monday January 15 with a match between Judd Trump and Jamie Jones, followed by John Higgins taking on Shaun Murphy and Mark Allen facing Jack Lisowski. The World Grand Prix is the first of three events in the 2024 Players Series, which will be broadcasted by ITV and other broadcasters worldwide.
