In 2024, Gorst won his first major Matchroom title, defeating Joshua Filler in the final of the World Pool Masters 1312. Gorst said: "It feels unbelievable! Both of us had crazy rolls in this match. I thought it was over for me but somehow it turned around for me," and, "hats off to Matchroom, this is an unbelievable tournament to win." Later the same year, Gorst made it to the final of the 2024 WPA World Nine-ball Championship and went on to win 15-14 against Eklent Kaçi, winning his second major Matchroom title and becoming at 24 years old the youngest player to win the event more than once, following his previous victory in 2019.
