history

The pre-qualification in Las Vegas began with 44 groups of three players. This is a record number of participants in World Cup tournaments. The performances in Las Vegas were also record breaking. The Spaniard Daniel Sánchez missed the average world record, set by Dick Jaspers in Hooglede in 1998, with 2,296 very narrowly. As the sixth player in World Cup history, the Dutchman Raimond Burgman was able to finish a sentence in one shot. With his fifth World Cup victory, the American Sang Chun Lee crowned himself at his home World Cup with a 3-2 set win against third-placed Semih Saygıner from Turkey, who took over the World Cup lead in 1999.

The exact price money could not be determined from the documents.
