The World Nineball Tour is thrilled to announce that Barry Hearn OBE, Matchroom Sport President, and Andy Goldstein, renowned TalkSport Radio host, will be returning to the world of Nineball to compete at the spectacular 2025 UK Open Pool Championship.
The event returns to the Telford International Centre, Telford, England, from May 6-11, 2025, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, as well as to fans globally through WNT TV. Full broadcast details to be announced soon.
Hearn and Goldstein will join a stellar 256-player field, featuring the top 128 professional players from the World Nineball Tour, battling for a share of the £200,000 prize fund and the prestigious UK Open title.
Barry Hearn shared his excitement: "The US Open Pool Championship last year was the greatest experience of my life, even though I lost my first match 9-1. I thought that would be the end of my Nineball career, but I got addicted, and what I thought would be a one-off has turned into a return—I’m back for the UK Open this May! No pressure, no excuses. This year, I’m not just aiming to win a match—I’m here to play better than you (Goldstein)!"
Andy Goldstein added: I’m absolutely buzzing for the UK Open. My practice begins this week, and this year, my goal isn’t just to win a match—I’m determined to break into the world rankings and secure my status as an official professional pool player!
This year’s UK Open promises to be more exciting than ever, with six days of world-class action in one of the UK’s premier venues. Situated in the heart of the country, the Telford International Centre provides easy access, superb facilities, and an electric atmosphere for players and fans alike.
