Winner takes all
The Masters carries a prize fund of £500k with a top prize of £175k, that’s a lot of money. That being said, if the Masters is truly to be taken to the next level then increasing the winners prize is the way to go.
U
nder the money list the top 16 will be made up of players that are very well paid, so here is my suggestion –
Winner takes all (well nearly all) pay the winner £400k with £5k going to the other 15 players that take part, helping to cover expenses etc. The remaining £25k is for a maximum, if no maximum is made then this amount rolls over to the crucible.
£400k first prize helps boost snookers profile amongst the top sports out there.
The top 16 are not running short on earning big cheques so losing out on £9k for losing in the first round as opposed to standing a chance of taking home £400k, I would imagine would be appealing to them.
What do you think?
