A seeding list was created for the tournament analogous to the world rankings. Only the prize money won in the current season was taken into account in this ranking list, i.e. only the results from the Riga Masters 2016 to the German Masters 2017 . The top 32 of this evaluation were allowed to start.
The defending champion was the Englishman Shaun Murphy , he was eliminated in the quarter-finals. The winner was Barry Hawkins from England . For him it was the third tournament victory in his career.
