The 2016?17 snooker season was a series of professional snooker tournaments played between 5 May 2016 and 1 May 2017.

The number of ranking events was increased in 2016/17, with a target of 20 ranking events for 2017/18. According to the World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn , total prize money for the World Snooker Tour in 2016/17 hit ￡10 million for the first time ever. The trophy for the Masters was renamed the Paul Hunter trophy in perpetuity, in memory of the three-time Masters champion who died in 2006. [1]

The Snooker Shoot Out became a ranking event for the first time. [2] The Australian Goldfields Open was cancelled. [3]

The Players Championship featured the top-16 players on the one year ranking list, as the Players Tour Championship has been cancelled and no order of merit was issued. [4]

The new Home Nations Series was introduced in this season with the English Open , Northern Ireland Open , Scottish Open and Welsh Open tournaments. The winner of all four tournaments could earn a massive ￡1 million bonus prize. [5]

Mark Selby won five ranking events during the season with Anthony McGill and Judd Trump each winning twice. Trump appeared in five ranking event finals during the season.

Players [ edit ]

The top 64 players from the prize money rankings after the 2016 World Championship , [6] and the 30 players earning a two-year card the previous year automatically qualified for the season ( Vinnie Calabrese has resigned his membership). [7] The top eight players from the European Tour Order of Merit and top two players from the Asian Tour Order of Merit , who have not already qualified for the Main Tour, also qualify. Another two players come from the EBSA Qualifying Tour Play-Offs, [8] and a further twelve places were available through the Q School . [9] [10] The rest of the places on to the tour come from the amateur events and national governing body nominations. Yan Bingtao 's two-year tour card will commence this season. [11] Also, since Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry have both retired from professional play, only James Wattana was offered an Invitational Tour Card. [12] The list of all professional players in the 2016/2017 season includes 129 players . [13]
