Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen was knocked out of the 2023 Snooker World Championship last week at the semi-final stage but that was still enough to earn him £100,000.
That brings his total prizemoney for the season to well over £700,000, over a three-fold increase on the year before.
It makes him one of the biggest earners in the sport this year and at the age of 37, he could yet make his way up the list of the sport’s all-time highest earners.
