Hearn mentioned Alexandra Palace in north London, which already holds the Masters, along with Newcastle and Manchester, where the Tour Championship is staged, as potential hosts for 2029.
He also named London venues Olympia and Excel as possible options.
But Hearn has not ruled out other European destinations, including the Tempodrom in Berlin, which has held some Premier League Darts events – with Hearn also president of the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) – and snooker’s German Masters.
Hearn said the new Crucible deal meant he could reward the players better.
“We’re going to increase the prize money, having got the Crucible done,” said Hearn.
“We’re not going to go silly, we’re going to go sustainable. Next year we will have a review, everything will go up, but not as dramatically as some want.”
Hearn mentioned a targeted World Championship prize fund of £3m, up from its existing £2.4m, and that means the winner’s prize moves from £500,000 to £625,000 in 2027.
The UK Championship prize fund will also be increased from £1.2m to £1.5m, with the winner’s prize going from £250,000 to £312,500.
Heard added that the eventual aim was to take the winner’s prize money from the Crucible up to the £1m mark. Darts currently pays its world champion £1m.
“By the time we come back here, we’re at a level that snooker has never been close to,” said Hearn. “We’re going to look at all the events and concentrate on the blue-ribbon ones.
“But we will get the balance right, so there’s a bit of bread for everybody. We will get it right, for the sport and for the individual.
“This is the biggest opportunity in snooker for 20 years.”
