22-year-old new snooker world champion reveals plans for major purchase worth half his earnings after Crucible win
Wu Yize became the second-youngest World Snooker Champion after a dramatic 18–17 win over Shaun Murphy at the Crucible, earning £500,000. The 22-year-old reflected on his family’s sacrifices and his early struggles in Sheffield, where he moved at 16. He now plans to invest his prize money in property in Sheffield rather than luxury spending, marking a grounded start to his reign.
