History of the tournament

The tournament was held for the first time in 1975 in London. The 1975 Benson and Hedges Masters was the first of this long running tournament which has had many of the World's top players competing London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. Ten players were invited. The final was won by John Spencer, who beat Ray Reardon 9-8 to win £2000 ($4260). Ray Reardon MBE ( 8 October 1932) is a retired Welsh Snooker player The match had reached 8-8, and in the deciding 17th frame the scores were tied, meaning that a re-spotted black was necessary.

In a slight change for the 2007 Masters, 19 players compete (compared to 18 up until 2006). The 2007 Saga Insurance Masters was the 33rd edition of the Masters professional Snooker tournament held from January 14 to January 21, The top 16 seeds for ranking events were automatically invited, while the other players entered a qualifying tournament which granted the winner a wildcard place (won in 2007 by Stuart Bingham). Stuart Bingham (born May 21, 1976, in Basildon, Essex) is an English professional Snooker player The 18th and 19th places in the tournament were granted by the game's governing body at their discretion (given in 2007 to Jimmy White and Ding Junhui). Ding Junhui ( sometimes referred to as Jun-hui Ding in the West born April 1, 1987) is a Chinese Snooker player born in Yixing These three had to play preliminary matches against the players seeded 14th, 15th, or 16th. For 2008 the tournament reverted to having 18 players - the top 16, qualifying winner Barry Hawkins and wildcard Marco Fu.

The tournament has seen many memorable matches, perhaps the most memorable being the 1991 final when Stephen Hendry beat Mike Hallett 9-8 after having trailed 7-0 and 8-2. The 1991 Benson and Hedges Masters took place between February 3 and February 10, 1991 at the Wembley Conference Centre Stephen Gordon Hendry, MBE (born January 13, 1969 in South Queensferry, Edinburgh) is a Scottish professional Snooker Mike Hallett (born July 2, 1959) is an English professional Snooker player and Television Sports commentator. This defeat effectively ended Hallett's days as a major force in the game. Arguably the next best final was the 1997 final, when Steve Davis, the greatest player of the game until Hendry's dominance in the 1990s, defeated Ronnie O'Sullivan, the great new star of snooker, in a match disrupted by a streaker. The 1997 Benson and Hedges Masters took place between February 2 and February 9, 1997 at the Wembley Conference Centre. Steve Davis, OBE, (born Steven Davis August 22, 1957, Plumstead, London) is an English professional Snooker Streaking is the act of taking off one's clothes and running naked through a public place Davis came back from 8-4 down to win the remaining six frames in a row, clinching the final at 10-8. Also memorable was the 1998 final, which went down to a re-spotted black in the deciding frame; Mark Williams defeated Stephen Hendry 10-9 after having trailed 9-6. The 1998 Benson and Hedges Masters took place between February 1 and February 8, 1998 at the Wembley Conference Centre. Mark James Williams MBE (born 21 March, 1975, Cwm, Ebbw Vale, Wales) is a Welsh professional Snooker A rather bittersweet memory was that of Ken Doherty's final black miss in a 147 attempt during the 2000 final, which he eventually lost to Matthew Stevens. Ken Doherty (born 17 September The 2000 Benson and Hedges Masters took place between February 7 and February 14, 2000 at the Wembley Conference Centre Matthew Stevens (born 11 September 1977, Carmarthen Wales) is a Welsh professional Snooker player

Ronnie O'Sullivan has appeared four successive finals from 2004 to 2007, winning in 2005 and 2007. Ronald Antonio "Ronnie" O'Sullivan (born 5 December 1975 in Wordsley, West Midlands) nicknamed "The However, it's his losses in the 2004 and 2006 finals which are widely considered to be two of the best matches played at the Masters or any tournament. Paul Hunter won the first of these, recovering from 7-2 down to win 10-9 against Ronnie, making five century breaks along the way. This was Hunter's third Masters win in four years, and sadly was his last tournament victory. O'Sullivan put on a great display to defeat John Higgins in the 2005 final, 10-3. John Higgins The next year, they met once again in the final, which saw a very high standard of play throughout the match, including back-to-back total clearances of 138 and 139 for O'Sullivan to win frames 2 and 3, before losing the next five frames in a row. In the deciding frame, O'Sullivan made a break of 60 before running out of position and missing with the rest. Higgins took a pot to the middle which almost stopped short but just rolled in, then also potted a double into the same pocket later in the break. He made a clearance of 64 to win the title on the black ball. However, O'Sullivan redeemed himself the next year by dominating Ding Junhui, winning 10-3 and then comforting the clearly upset youngster afterwards. Ding Junhui ( sometimes referred to as Jun-hui Ding in the West born April 1, 1987) is a Chinese Snooker player born in Yixing

Trophy name

Following the death of Paul Hunter in October 2006 [4], Jimmy White led calls for the Masters trophy or tournament to be renamed in honour of Hunter, who had won the title three times in four years between 2001 and 2004. Paul Alan Hunter ( 14 October 1978 – 9 October 2006) was an English professional Snooker player [5] Lindsey Hunter, widow of Paul Hunter, later expressed her wishes for the trophy to be renamed, claiming that ". . . everybody expected it. Every player I've spoken to, every fan, thought it would be a definite". [6] World Snooker, the sport's governing body, decided against renaming the trophy, stating "Our board unanimously agreed that the Paul Hunter Scholarship was the most fitting tribute. The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association ( WPBSA, also known as the World Snooker Association or simply World Snooker for short is the governing Just as Hunter himself rose swiftly through the amateur ranks, the scholarship will give a gifted young player the chance to fulfil his talent through elite training.
