🌌 The penultimate tournament of the 2025 season is upon us, as we preview the latest Tour Championship snooker tips in what’s set up to be a cracker. Mark Williams will defend his title at Manchester Central from March 31st to April 6th, but can he go b(l)ack-to-b(l)ack? We invested more time than Peter Ebdon’s pre-shot routine to bring you the best bonuses, high-value odds and expert betting tips.

🔜 We’re still a few days away from the release of the Tour Championship snooker odds, but as soon as they go live, we’ll be on it like a car bonnet and have them listed for you below. Now’s a good time to stick a little bookmark on this page so you don’t miss them.

♛ With a field featuring the 12 most in-form players of the year, the Tour Champs can be hard to call. But fear not, folks. We reckon the following to be where the value lies for your exclusive Tour Championship snooker tips.

Judd Trump to (Finally) Get His First Win

The least controversial “Trump” in the news over the last few weeks – Judd is making snooker great again. He’s world number one and the top-ranked player for 2024/25, earning a staggering £950,000. The longer format (best of 19) games will suit Trump, and the more time you give to the best, the bigger their edge. His withdrawal from the Welsh Open🍸 shows shrewd tournament management to prep for these bigger events, and his Tour Championship snooker odds will rightly see him start as a strong favourite.

Kyren Wilson to trump, Trump

It’s been a break-out year for Wilson, with three wins so far – the most recent coming in the German Masters✃, backing up his shock World Championship win in 2024. He made the final in the Tour Championship in 2022/23, and his head-to-head record versus Trump is stellar, winning four out of their last five. “The Warrior” has the game to win this week, and if you want an alternative to Trump, Wilson’s your man.

Another 147? Oh, Go on Then!

ಌIt’s been raining 147’s this season. As it stands, 11 maximums have landed, with six tournaments still to play. There have been five in 2025 alone, four of which from players who will feature at the Tour Championship. End of stats overload. There will be value in the 147 (Yes) market, and the smaller field size will be negated by the quality and longer format matches (best of 19 frames). Don’t stick the mortgage on this one, but consider small-staked bets.

We’ve created your one-stop shop for the Sportsbet.IO Tour Championship. Our best betting tips🍬 are above, but we want to provide all the tools you need to create your own wagers. This includes the latest trends and tons of data, allowing you to find value across dozens of markets.

❀ The 12 players who qualify for the Tour Championship are the most consistent throughout the season. It’s not the top 12 from the World Rankings, but instead, the boys splashing the cash at the top of the money list over the last 12 months. Let’s look at some of the trends since its inauguration in 2018/19, shall we?

  • List Icon

    Only Neil Roberston (2/6 – 33.3%) has won the Tour Championship multiple times (2021, 2022).

  • List Icon

    🐷No player who has gone into the tournament as leader on the season-long money list has gone on to win the event.

  • List Icon

    Ronnie O’Sullivan and Neil Robertson have made the joint-most final appearances, with three a piece (3/6 – 50%).

  • List Icon

    The player ranked second on the money list before the event has gone on to win three times (3/6 – 50%). This is more than any other position.

  • List Icon

    Mark Williams became the oldest winner in 2024 (aged 49), beating Ronnie O’Sullivan in the final.

  • List Icon

    Stephen Maguire’s pre-tournament odd of 25/1ღ was the longest for any of the six Tour Championship winners so far.

  • List Icon

    He’s also the only player to win all three of his matches as an underdog (quarter-final – 3/1, semi-final – 5/2, final – 11/8).

  • List Icon

    The reigning champion has failed to qualify for the event the following year four times (Ronnie O’Sullivan 2020, Stephen Maguire 2021, Neil Robertson 2023 and Shaun Murphy 2024).

  • List Icon

    The world number one, as per official World Rankings, has never won the event (0/6 – 0%).

Key Players to Watch

Along with our Tour Championship snooker tips, we’ve featured the key players to watch for the week. This is a limited field event, with only the crème de la crème as the race towards the World Snooker Championship heats up.

Judd Trump

Johnstone’s Paint World Ranking: 1

It’s not controversial to say that Judd Trump is the best player in the world right now. He’s earned almost double than Kyren Wilson, who’s second, and with three wins in 2024/25 already (Saudi Arabi Masters, Shanghai Masters, and UK Championship♏), the world number one is playing exceptionally. His brilliance is undoubted, but he needs to shake the tournament hoodoo of no top-ranked player to have ever won. You’d be mad to bet against him in current form.

Ronnie O’Sullivan

Johnston’s Paint World Ranking: 3

♒ It’s a reflection of O’Sullivan’s season that we’re talking about the undeniable (in our opinion) GOAT for the first time. The reality is that “The Rocket” has been far from his best with zero wins, needing a good showing in the events leading up to qualify. However, his Tour Championship snooker results are second to none, with a win and two other finals to his name. So, if he can sneak in, he will have a chance. If we’re being honest, the event needs Ronnie. But the question is, does Ronnie need it? Answer on a postcard, folks.

Si Jiahui

Johnston’s Paint World Ranking: 12

At 22, Si Jiahui would be one of the youngest players to ever compete at the Tour Championships and he might do it without a ranking win to his name. But the “Perl” is an exciting prospect, backing up his incredible run to the 2023 World Championship semifinals with two more final appearances at the , and Wuhan Open, beating Trump with a 147 en route🐠. An outsider, yes, but his Tour Championship snooker odds will make him a great each-way bet, given he’s more than capable of ruffling a few feathers this week.

Kyren Wilson

Johnston’s Paint World Ranking: 2

🅺 Following his epic World Championship victory in 2023, “The Warrior” is in the form of his life. Wins at the Xi’an Grand Prix, Northern Ireland Open and German Masters have drowned the one-hit-wonder haters into blissful silence. With a 73% win rate, bettered only by you know who, his stock is exploding right now. If you’re looking for an alternative to Trump at snooker’s Tour Championship in Manchester this year, Wilson will be a shrewd punt.

Snooker Tour Championship Prize Money

༺ The Tour Championship snooker prize money for 2025 sits at an impressive £500,000, with the winner collecting a cheque of £150,000. Given the limited field of 12 players, it’s one of the best paydays in the snooker calendar and a great platform for the elite, as they get their eye in before the start of the World Championships two weeks later.

bet365’s stellar coverage suits me

Jonathan – Markets and coverage will be popping for the Tour Championship. We’re thick into the business with the end of the season, and the bookies jump on this with increased coverage. If I could only pick one for the week, it would be bet365꧃. Not only do you get a bet £10, get £30 free bet, but you’ll also have access to livestreaming, some of the best odds in the industry, bet boosts, cash out and tons of markets. What’s not to love?

Tour Championship Snooker Betting Sites with Livestreaming

One of the best things about the Tour Championship is that there are multiple streaming options from some of the best UK livestreaming betting sites♔ in town. Coral, bet365, Ladbrokes and Betfred all have integrated video coverage within the in-play betting section, accessible for account holders only.

🐓 You’ve also got options to watch on the old box, with ITV and Eurosport retaining the rights for 2025. A rare treat for those clinging on to terrestrial TV.

Looking for a free bet to pair with our Tour Championship snooker betting⛄ tips? We hear you. Check the list below for the latest and greatest offers for the week.

All Bookies
No Results Found Not Found Image

One of the biggest leaks that we see from amateur bettors is restricting themselves to one or two betting markets. There’s so much value to be had outside of the outright winner, people. Below, we’ve listed a host of betting markets that we use as part of our Tour Championship snooker tips strategy – and highly recommend you do too.

Outright Winner

෴ The Don of snooker betting. Bet on the player you think will win the tournament outright. Simple.

Match Winner

As the name suggests – bet on the player you think will win the match. These are great for acca bets.

Match Handicap

Add handicaps to players in the form of the number of legs in the match. E.G. Mark Williams -1.5♕ would mean that for the bet to win, he must win the game by two or more frames.

Total Frames

𓆏 Can’t decide who will win? Take on the total number of frames (combined) in the game. A simple over/under bet set by the bookies. This can be adapted to include 3-way markets, which include over, under and exact.

Correct Score

💧 Choose the correct score (in frames) at the end of the match. Remember that the Tour Championship is best of 19 for all four rounds.

Match Centuries

ꦕ Target those heavy break builders when picking match centuries. This will be a combined number for both players, with markets ranging from zero to five plus.

Highest Break in Match

💯 Pick which of the two players scores the highest break in a match. You don’t need the exact break… thankfully.

Frame Betting

💛 Pre-match will focus on the first frame, but you can bet on the proceeding frames in play. The range of markets is vast and includes handicaps, total points, highest break and winning margin, to name a few.

Leader After First Four Frames

🧔 Another easy one – bet on the player you think will be ahead after four frames. A tie is also an option here.

To Score a 147

𒅌 This market can vary – the most common is a simple yes or no regarding a maximum break occurring at some point. Alternatively, you can choose individual players, which massively increases the difficulty and odds.

Match to Go to a Deciding Frame

🥀 Thinking a game is going to the wire? Then, bet on the deciding frame market. A simple yes or no will suffice.

ThePuntersPage Final Say

ℱ The fact that the WPBSA has moved the Tour Championship to a fortnight before the World’s speaks volumes of this event's prestige. 12 of the world's best battling it out over 19 frames… yes, please. The bookies will be red hot this week, with boosted odds and dedicated promos that you can link perfectly with our Tour Championship snooker tips. Curious to see if Judd Trump becomes the first money list leader to win? We certainly are!

𝔉Bet365 is the best betting site for the Tour Championship. New accounts can claim a £30 free bet after placing a first wager of £10. On site for the week will be livestreaming, boosted odds and tons of dedicated markets to bet on.

ꦬAs one of the signature events, the best promotions will be spread throughout the industry. The likes of bet365, BetVictor, Ladbrokes and Coral always go above and beyond regarding offers, so these will be great starting points.

꧋Of course! Most free bets include snooker betting, so you're good to go if the market you’re betting on is allowed. It’s always best to check T&Cs if you’re unsure.

💙Yes, several bookies have livestreaming of the event. Check out bet365, Coral, Ladbrokes and Betfred as four of the best.

♎The Tour Championship starts on 31st March and runs until April 6th. It’s hosted at the Manchester Central for the second successive time.

🎀With a £500,000 prize pool, this is one of the biggest snooker events of the season. The winner will cash in a cool £150,000 for their week of work.
