The 1989 Kent Cup was an invitational non-ranking snooker tournament held in Beijing from 20 to 23 April 1989.[1] Sakchai Sim-Ngam won the event, defeating Franky Chan 4–1 in the final.[2] The tournament was promoted by Pro-Tex Sports Management, a Hong Kong company, working with the China Billiards and Snooker Association.[1]
The event features a total prize fund of US$25,000 and US$8,000 awarded to the winner.[3] This was a significant reduction from the previous year's total prize fund of £120,000.[4] John Parrott was the defending champion, but he was not eligible for this year's edition, as it was held exclusively for the players from the Asia–Pacific region.[3] The invited competitors were sixteen players from eight different countries – Australia, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.[5]
