🎱 CUEWORLD CLASSIC 2026 — THAT’S A WRAP! 🎱
After seven years away, the CueWorld Classic made its long-awaited return to the calendar and what a weekend it was!
With 64 players taking on two days of Eight Ball action at Club9, the Classic delivered plenty of drama, some seriously tight matches and a brand-new name on the trophy.
🏆 CONGRATULATIONS TONY DO - 2026 CUEWORLD CLASSIC CHAMPION!
Tony took out the title in an absolute thriller, defeating Greg Jenkins 4–3 in the final.
After opening his Sunday with a 4–0 win, Tony then went on an incredible run of four consecutive deciding-rack victories, defeating Gurragchaa Ganbat, Jon Burrard, John Bowkett and finally Greg Jenkins to claim the championship.
Four matches. Four hill-hill finishes. One very impressive run. 🔥
🥈RUNNER-UP - GREG JENKINS
Greg was outstanding throughout the weekend, reaching the final having dropped just seven racks across his first four knockout matches.
After surviving a 4–3 opening round, Greg went on a dominant run through the draw before meeting Tony in the final. An incredible performance and a very well-deserved second place.
👏 Congratulations to both Tony and Greg on a fantastic final.
The weekend also saw two former CueWorld Classic champions return to the event. Terry Lai (2012) and Justin Sajich (2019) both made it through to Sunday and into the Round of 16, continuing the history of this event while a new champion was crowned.
🎯 SIDE EVENT CHAMPIONS
A special thanks goes out to Langa Solofoni for hosting our side events all weekend. He certainly knows how to bring out the competition in our players!
A huge congratulations to our side-event winners:
🏅 Pot the Lot: John Wims - 105 balls
🥈 Terry Lai - 81 balls
💥 Biggest Break: Harper Koytz - 6 balls
Harper also takes the honour of being our 2026 Junior Biggest Break winner! 👏
The Speed Pool Shootout was scheduled but ultimately wasn't contested, with Pot the Lot proving to be the big crowd favourite across the weekend.
📺 THE ACTION DOESN'T STOP HERE
All eight tables were recorded and streamed throughout the event via DigitalPool, meaning there is a huge amount of match footage available to go back and watch.
The quarter-final, semi-final and final were also broadcast live on the Club9 YouTube channel with commentary from Barry Mavros - the Voice of Pool in Australia, alongside Stuart Rogers.
And that final was a cracker, running for almost 56 minutes as Tony and Greg battled it out to the deciding rack. 🎙️🔥
A massive thank you to Club9 and their entire team for hosting us and looking after everyone throughout the weekend.
Thank you also to Barry Mavros for his huge contribution to promoting the event and for helping bring the live coverage to life.
And of course, a massive THANK YOU to every player who came along and made the return of the CueWorld Classic such a great weekend.
The Classic is officially back. ❤️🎱
