Major
US Open Pool Championship
Harrah's Resort, Atlantic City, NJ, United States
Prize Fund: $500,000
The most historic event in nineball heads back to Harrah’s Resort, Atlantic City, from 18–23 August. In 2024, Fedor Gorst etched his name into the history books by defeating five-time winner Shane Van Boening to claim his first US Open title—and complete the ‘Gorst Slam’. This year, the prize fund climbs to an impressive $500,000, with a mighty $100,000 going to the winner in World Nineball Tour ranking points. Can Gorst defend his title, will Van Boening make it a record sixth, or is it time for a new king of the States?
