Prior to this season, this tournament was part of the Players Tour Championship: however, that minor-ranking series was cancelled for this season, and the "Grand Final" event at the end was renamed to be its own ranking event called the Players Championship.[3] It was played between the top 16 players on a one-year ranking list.[4][5]
Mark Allen was the defending champion, but he did not qualify for this year's tournament.[6]
Judd Trump won the tournament, beating Marco Fu 10–8 in the final.[7]
