Jeddah will be home to some of the best snooker players in the world as it is set to host the second edition of the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters beginning Friday, August 8.
Last year's inaugural edition in Riyadh was won by world No. 1 Judd Trump in dramatic fashion as he defeated Mark Williams by a margin of 10-9 in the final to claim the title.
Kyren Wilson won the 2025 Shanghai Masters earlier this month and will be one of the top contenders to win the title in Jeddah.
