World Snooker Championship Highest Break Prize Money

What is the Prize Money for the highest break at the World Snooker Championship?

The high-break prize for this year's World Snooker Championship stands at £15,000, and includes qualifying matches.

Given Jackson Page has already compiled two 147 breaks in qualifiers - incredibly both in the same match - any player wanting a slice of that fund will have to match his achievements at the Crucible.

Welshman Page made history when he recorded perfection twice in his 10-2 victory over Allan Taylor at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield, a feat that also pocketed him a mammoth £147,000 bonus.

The World Snooker Tour put the bumper prize on offer for any player who could chalk up two maximum breaks across each of the three Triple Crown events this season, as well as the Saudi Arabian Snooker Masters.

How much do players get for qualifying for the Crucible?

The 16 players who come through at least two arduous rounds of qualifying will collect £20,000 - a prize that will increase with each match they manage to win at the Crucible.

Prize Money is on offer at the Qualifying campaign with players who managed to win their first match taking home £5,000, with that total increasing with each victory over the four rounds.
