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]
The event was won by Efren Reyes, who defeated Chang Hao-ping in the final 17–8.[3] At the time of the event, it was not recognised as a world championship, however, after the event was well received, the WPA worked with Matchroom sport for later versions of the event, and retrospectively recognised as a world championship.[1][4] The championships were merged in 2000, but were also held in Wales.
