US Open Pool Championship Gets Bigger
The 2025 US Open Pool Championship is set to feature a significantly larger prize fund of $500,000, making it the richest open tournament on the World Nineball Tour. Top players and rising stars are preparing for one of the most lucrative events of the year.
The Next Big Leap: Pool’s Global Expansion
Pool is catching attention from promoters and sports media as it pushes to become a more mainstream global sport. With growing visibility, increasing prize funds, and audience interest, nine-ball in particular is being viewed as ready for a breakout.
Why These Stories Matter
The US Open’s prize fund increase isn’t just about money — it signals growing infrastructure, sponsor investment, and potential for stable careers in pool.
When promoters and organisations begin to treat pool like a global sport rather than a niche pastime, that shifts everything: player development, broadcast deals, fan engagement, and long-term sustainability.
