1999 World Professional Pool Championship

The 1999 World Professional Pool Championship was a professional pool championship that took place in 1999 in Cardiff, Wales. The event was billed as a world championship by Matchroom Sport as an alternative to the World Pool-Billiard Association's 1999 WPA World Nine-ball Championship, won by Nick Varner.[1] Despite there being two world titles for the same discipline in 1999, both are considered as valid in 1999 by the WPA.[2][1]
