The Tour Championship is open to only the eight top-ranking players on this season’s one-year list. Judd Trump snuck in with victory at last week's Nirvana Turkish Masters, having been down in 13th ahead of the tournament.
Luca Brecel and Mark Williams have also made the grade, as have Mark Allen and John Higgins, at the expense of Kyren Wilson, who was defeated in the final of the Gibraltar Open, the final cut-off for Tour Championship qualification.
There's a £150,000 cheque for the winner, and a chance for all eight contenders to improve their seedings for the prestigious World Snooker Championship, which begins in mid-April.

Can I watch Tour Championship snooker in Australia?
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like any broadcasters are showing the 2022 snooker Tour Championship in Australia.
Your best bet, therefore, may be to use one of the best streaming VPNs to tap into coverage from a different country, as described above.
The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the same country as the service.
