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.
From 2016, the World Grand Prix has been held as a ranking event.
In 2019, the tournament was included in the newly created Coral Cup series, and branded as "Coral World Grand Prix", which changed to "Cazoo World Grand Prix" in 2021.
