The World Grand Prix was held as a non-ranking event in March 2015 in Llandudno, Wales, for the top 32 players on the World Grand Prix list. The list was based on a one-year ranking system.
In March 2016, the World Grand Prix was held as a ranking event, again using the World Grand Prix list.[6]
For 2019, the tournament was included in the newly created Coral Cup series, and branded as "Coral World Grand Prix".
