The Masters, sponsored by Dafabet, is snooker’s most prestigious invitation tournament. It has a rich history dating back to 1975 and it is considered one of the sport’s Triple Crown events, alongside the World Championship and the UK Championship. Only the elite top 16 players are invited to compete for the famous trophy and a top prize of £200,000. Since 2012 the event has been staged at the iconic Alexandra Palace in North London, which attracts sell-out crowds.
