The Players Championship 2022 has arrived and the tournament is always a highlight in the busy, start-of-year snooker calendar.
Reigning champion John Higgins is back to defend his title following a superb display in last year’s final to dispatch Ronnie O’Sullivan, who also returns to the table this week.
The competition includes the top 16 players based on the one-year ranking list, with the likes of Zhao Xintong and Luca Brecel at the top of the seeding list.
Beneath them, a host of familiar faces will be determined to make the most of the week. Former world No.1 Judd Trump is also among the competitors, but reigning No.1 Mark Selby won’t feature after failing to make the top-16 based on his last year of displays.
Masters 2022 champion Neil Robertson is in action, while defeated finalist Barry Hawkins has also made the cut with the final slot on the list.
