Overview

• Neil Robertson secured the £500,000 winner’s prize by edging Ronnie O’Sullivan 10–9 in a final-frame decider.
• O’Sullivan’s two 147 breaks against Chris Wakelin marked only the second time a player has compiled twin maximums in a single professional match.
• Those maximums triggered the World Snooker Tour’s £147,000 bonus for two 147s across the designated majors and raised his career tally to 17.
• At 49, O’Sullivan ended a seven-year wait for a competitive 147 and set a new record as the oldest player to achieve maximum clearance.
• The Saudi Arabia Masters’ total £2.3 million prize pool highlighted how expanding bonuses and payouts are reshaping competitive incentives in professional snooker.
