The Welshman, 43, arrived wearing just a sponsors towel to spare his blushes – under orders from supremo Barry Hearn.
He said: “I’m a little bit uncomfortable at the moment — it’s a bit cold in here!
“But if I never win another tournament I won’t care, I have done something I thought I’d never do.”
Renaissance man Williams, who almost quit last summer, beat four-time winner Higgins in a Sheffield thriller described as “the best final” by legend Steve Davis.
