What is the Masters in Snooker?

The Masters is one of the most exclusive, if not the most exclusive, events in the world of snooker. It features the top 16 players in the world, according to the rankings at the time of the UK Championship, who have been competing annually since 1983. The tournament officially started in 1975, with John Spencer claiming the first-ever victory after defeating Ray Reardon 9 - 8 in a thrilling final, however, the field only sat at 10 players before expanding to 12 in 1981, and then to 16 a total of two years later.

It's held at the Alexandra Palace in London, which has been the home of The Masters since 2012, apart from in 2021 when the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes stepped in. Each year, The Masters occurs in January and is the second event in the Triple Crown series, in order of typical play. This means that many eyeballs will be on the winner of the World Championship, with fans being eager to see whether they can set themself up for success and a shot at the Triple Crown later in the year.

The tournament follows a single elimination knockout format, with the first round, quarter finals, and semi finals all being a best of 11 frames affair, meaning that whichever player wins 6 frames first will be declared the winner and progress to the next stage of the event. In the final, it's a best-of-19-frame match.

When it comes to snooker betting markets, there are plenty of different options to choose from, focusing on both individual games and the tournament as a whole:

Outright Winner - This market focuses on picking the overall winner of The Masters event. Players who wager on this market will only be awarded at the corresponding rate should their chosen player lift the trophy and claim the top spot.
Name the Finalists - As the name suggests, this type of snooker bet involves naming the two finalists for the 2026 Masters. Both players must be correct in order for this bet to be marked as a successful one.
To Reach the Final - With this bet, you can pick one of the snooker players in the event and if they manage to reach the final, the potential winnings will be awarded at the corresponding rate.
Match Winner - Next up is the 'Match Winner' market, which allows you to pick the victor of a particular snooker game. These are updated throughout the tournament as matches are decided, so be sure to check back as the event progresses to see more!
Handicap - A handicap bet involves picking a snooker player to win with a certain number of frames added or subtracted from their score. For example, if you picked Ronnie O'Sullivan with a -1.5 handicap, he would need to win by 2 or more frames for this bet to be marked as a successful one.
Correct Score - One of the hardest bets to predict is the correct score of a chosen match. However, the odds are higher to reflect this. Betting on the exact score means that only one outcome will award the associated potential winnings and players must guess the winning player correctly, too.
Total Frames - With this type of snooker betting market, a number will be shown and punters must pick whether they think more or less frames will be played during the game. For example, if under 9.5 is picked and the final score is 6-3, this bet will be successful, as only 9 frames would have been played in total.

Of course, these aren't the only betting markets that are available at BetVictor. With other popular options being the nationality of the winning player, the player who will score the highest break throughout the entirety of the event, and which player will win their respective quarter.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is the most successful snooker player in the history of The Masters, lifting the Paul Hunter Trophy a total of 8 times. He's also both the youngest Masters champion (winning in 1995 aged 19) and the oldest (winning in 2024 aged 48), showcasing his remarkable longevity at the very top of the sport.

The most recent champion is Kyren Wilson, who claimed his maiden Masters title at the 2026 event by defeating John Higgins 10-6 in the final. Wilson had lost both previous Masters finals he had contested (2018 to Mark Allen and 2025 to Shaun Murphy), making his 2026 triumph particularly emotional. Here's a look at the previous winners of the event for the past 10+ years, alongside the other players who reached the final:

Year	Winner	Finalist
2025	Shaun Murphy	Kyren Wilson
2024	Ronnie O’Sullivan	Ali Carter
2023	Judd Trump	Mark Williams
2022	Neil Robertson	Barry Hawkins
2021	Yan Bingtao	John Higgins

Defending Masters champion Kyren Wilson heads to Alexandra Palace for the 2027 edition looking to retain the Paul Hunter Trophy following his memorable 10-6 victory over John Higgins in the 2026 final. After losing two previous Masters finals, the 2024 World Champion proved his big-stage credentials in London and arrives in 2027 as one of the most credentialed all-format players in the modern game.

Judd Trump, the world number one, will once again be among the leading contenders. The Englishman lost in the semi-finals to John Higgins in 2026 and will be motivated to add a third Masters title to his 2019 and 2023 wins. Mark Selby, the 2025 UK Champion and 10-time Triple Crown winner, will also be in the conversation, while John Higgins (a 2026 finalist himself) and Mark Williams have the experience to mount serious challenges.

If Ronnie O'Sullivan returns to action after his 2026 medical withdrawal, the eight-time champion will instantly become one of the favourites. Other contenders include the 2025 World Champion Zhao Xintong and 2026 World Champion Wu Yize, with the Chinese pair representing the new generation of Masters challengers.
