RONNIE O’SULLIVAN has revealed how he would spent the $1million prize money on offer if he makes history at the Riyadh Season Snooker Championship. The legend is the defending champion of the new tournament in Saudi Arabia. Launching in March as the World Masters of Snooker, the final saw O’Sullivan beat Luca Brecel 5-2 to claim the £250k jackpot.

Now, the Rocket is looking to fuel his way to victory and bag another quarter-mil. But there is an even bigger prize on offer for any snooker player who can complete an extraordinary feat. Saudi chiefs are once again fielding the Golden Ball. Worth 20 points, it can only be potted at the end of a 147 to create the possibility of a 167 break — the highest in snooker history.

Amazingly, an incredible prize worth $1m (£792k) is on offer for any player who can achieve the feat. And O’Sullivan has now opened up on what he’d do with the cash. Speaking in a World Snooker Tour video, The Rocket laughed: “I couldn’t spend a million dollars. (But I would buy) a school.”.

O’Sullivan’s answer was certainly unexpected, with rival Brecel previously revealing he’s so far spent all his snooker earnings on flash cars and a jet-set lifestyle. But Ronnie is no stranger to educating youngsters in the sport, having opened a snooker academy in Saudi earlier this year.
