The US Open 9 Ball Championship, one of nine ball pool's most coveted titles, is held every year. Held every year, it is a major tournament that attracts over 1,000 spectators and is broadcast on ESPN sports channel. A total prize fund of $148,000 will be awarded to 64 players in the competition. The event will also require a $500 entry fee.
There have been many notable winners of the US Open 9 Ball Championship. Earl Strickland (with Steve Mizerak), Mike Sigel, and Mike Sigel all won the title. Efren Reyes ("The Magician") is the player who has been most successful at pocket-billiards. He has won a U.S. Open Championship and a World Championship.
Luther Lassiter, who died in October of 1988, was a legendary road player who won six world 9 ball championships in his career. His long career saw him surpassing many top players in his time. But in the end, Lassiter would have won more if there were more nine ball tournaments to play in.
He was also a champion in the World Teams Championship, which was revived in Austria earlier this year. In the past, Earl Strickland was a national champion as was Kurt DeKlerck. However, in the past 20 years the top names have been eclipsed by Allen Hopkins or Efren "The Magician”Reyes.
Reyes is the best player in straight pool, one-pocket and billiards. He won the US Open and World 9-Ball Championship in 1999. He has two more major titles to his name.
Buddy Hall is one of the most well-known 9 ball names. Hall has earned back-to-back US Open titles. His talents have been recognised and he has been highly praised by fans. When he played in the 1970s, he dominated the 9-ball games in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Tanvee Vallem, a nine-year-old from Hyderabad, India, started playing nine-ball seven months ago. Roy Pastor, a Billiards Education Foundation coach, has been helping him. On Monday, he will participate in the Predator World Junior 9 Ball Championship.
Many players have won multiple titles in the US Open or WPA 9 ball championships. Aaron Aragon, Fred Dinsmore, and Jouni Tahti are among the leading names. Earl Strickland is another player who has won a number of US Open and World titles.

This tournament attracts millions of people from all over the world and has evolved into an international contest. In addition, it has been broadcast on ESPN sports channel since 1999.
