On April 29, 2015, Barry Hearn , Chairman of World Snooker , announced a new tournament series for the 2016-17 season called the Home Nations Series . The four tournaments in the four British parts of the country began with the newly created English Open . The first venue was EventCity in Manchester . The Welsh Open followed later in the season, followed by the new Northern Ireland Open and Scottish Open .
The trophy to be won is called the Steve Davis Trophy and is named after the former world snooker champion Steve Davis .
