The 2026/27 World Snooker Tour season has begun with plenty of drama at the China Open and Wuhan Open Qualifiers taking place in Leicester.

 

Former Shoot Out champion Michael Holt produced a career highlight, scoring the first maximum break of his 30-year professional career — and the 242nd official 147 in snooker history.

 

Several young tour rookies have shown plenty of promise already, including England's Oliver Sykes and China Wang Xinbo. Want to know the full line up of 128 tour players this season? Click below.

Shaun Murphy has been awarded an OBE in the 2026 King's Birthday Honours for services to snooker and charity.


The 2005 World Champion turned professional in 1998 and has enjoyed a glittering career, winning 13 ranking titles and completing snooker's Triple Crown by capturing all three of the sport's most prestigious events.


Away from the baize, Murphy has devoted much of his time to charity, including work with orphanages in Harare in 2006, being a patron of the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital from 2015 and recently becoming a patron of the Rainbows Children's Hospice in Leicestershire.
