The Florida Open promises unmatched competition bringing together the world’s top talent to vie for a significant $200,000 prize fund, including an elevated top prize of $40,000. This new standout event will follow the classic Matchroom Major format, featuring a 256-player field with the top 128 professionals from the World Nineball Tour rankings.

Set within the stunning and spacious Caribe Royale Resort, the tournament ensures a first-class experience for players and fans alike in the heart of Orlando.

Matchroom Sport Chairman, Eddie Hearn stated: "We are delighted to announce the launch of the Florida Open Pool Championship, scheduled for August 5-10 at the wonderful Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. Home to of course, last year's Mosconi Cup, where we sold over 10,000 tickets. Building on the momentum of the U.S. Open, this event offers another prime opportunity for 256 players to compete against the world’s best players, with a $200,000 prize fund. Mark your calendars—you won’t want to miss this spectacular tournament.”

Vice President of Operations & Managing Director, Amaury Piedra commented: “Caribe Royale is proud to work with our great partners at Matchroom to bring world class events to Orlando. After the success of the 2024 Mosconi Cup this inaugural Florida Open is a natural follow up. We’re looking forward to hosting another tremendous event that brings in players and fans alike from the State and around the nation. Matchroom, Caribe Royale, and Orlando will once again be the hub of Nine-Ball for this event!”

Skyler Woodward, captain of Team USA at the 2024 Mosconi Cup, shared his excitement for the new event: "Playing at the Caribe Royale during the 2024 Mosconi Cup was incredible, and I can’t wait to return for the Florida Open. It’s an amazing venue with everything a player and fan could want – the atmosphere is going to be electric. This is exactly the kind of tournament that shows how big nineball is getting, and I’m thrilled to be part of it."

CEO of Matchroom Multi Sport, Emily Frazer stated: "Bringing the World Nineball Tour back to Florida for a brand new Open event is a massive step in expanding the tour across the USA. The Caribe Royale proved to be an outstanding venue during the last year’s Mosconi Cup, and we’re excited to build on that success with the Florida Open Pool Championship. This event will showcase the world’s best players in a premier setting, delivering an unforgettable experience for fans and competitors alike. With a $200,000 prize fund and our signature Matchroom production, the Florida Open is set to be a true highlight of the WNT season."

The Florida Open marks a significant milestone in the World Nineball Tour’s mission to deliver world-class tournaments and strengthen collaborations with premier venues like Caribe Royale. As a potential cornerstone of the WNT calendar, this event is poised to captivate players and fans with its high stakes and unparalleled setting.
