The World Snooker Championship begins this weekend with a fresh set of 32 contenders aiming for glory \u2013 and a handsome pay day.<\/p>\n

The prize fund remains stable with a massive \u00a3500,000 cheque on offer for the ultimate champion at The Crucible in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan walked away with the top cash prize and a stunning seventh world title in 2022. Can he repeat history once more to claim a remarkable eighth crown?<\/p>\n

Qualifying has steadily whittled down the field to just 32 ahead of the first round, made up of 16 seeded players and 16 qualifiers.<\/p>\n
