The Major Sports Events Committee today announced that it has awarded “M” Mark status to the World Snooker Grand Prix 2025, due to be held from March 4 to 9.

Major Sports Events Committee Chairman Wilfred Ng said: “The World Snooker Grand Prix 2025 has moved out of the UK for the very first time. Being held in Hong Kong, its scale and its prize pool have reached new heights.

“It is the inaugural major event after the opening of Kai Tak Sports Park, which not only helps promote local snooker development but also underlines Hong Kong's status as the centre for major international sports events.”
