Inside Kyren Wilson's Christmas plans as snooker world champion plans to celebrate lifechanging year by getting 'sloshed' in Macau

World snooker champion Kyren Wilson plans to celebrate a momentous 2024 by partying in Macau with his nearest and dearest.

Wilson will end a lifechanging year playing at the Macau Snooker Masters at Wynn Palace where he is joined by seven-time Crucible king Ronnie O’Sullivan and UK champion Judd Trump as the headline acts. And the trip to the Far East is a family affair for the world champion, who will be cheered on by his biggest supporters, telling SportsBoom: “I play on December 27 so I’ve got Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day to get sloshed before I’ve got to play.

“My Chinese agent was at the world final and I said to him please let my mum and dad come this year so at least I can take my whole family out there. It was about trying to create that memory with the whole family this year. My mum and dad have sacrificed so much so I’m really looking forward to them seeing it.

"Wynn Palace did me a nice little birthday cake last year, they really spoiled me. It’s a wonderful place. The boys really enjoyed Christmas that way as well. The turkey is amazing out there. We’re going out with the Binghams so it will be nice to do it with them as well.”

Wilson, who celebrated his 33rd birthday on December 22, realised his boyhood dream by becoming world champion in May with a memorable 18-11 victory over Jak Jones. And the world number two has not rested on his laurels since pocketing the sport’s most prized possession, backing up his Crucible triumph with victories at the Xi’an Grand Prix and Northern Ireland Open - where he twice beat number one ranked Judd Trump to the title.
