The German Masters (formerly also the German Open ) is a professional snooker tournament that is one of the tournaments of the Snooker Main Tour .
history
The German Open took place between 1995 and 1997 and had the status of a world ranking tournament on the Main Tour . The venues at that time were Frankfurt , Osnabrück and Bingen . After the event had lost the status of a world ranking tournament, it took place again in 1998 under the name German Masters . After that she was hired.
With the Paul Hunter Classic (initially as the Fürth German Open ) there was again a German tournament with professional participation from 2004. Although it was not part of the Main Tour, it became a very popular tournament. From 2010 it became part of the PTC series and thus the professional tour, but only as a minor ranking tournament due to the participation of amateur players . Before the 2011/12 season it was announced that in February 2011 a full ranking tournament would take place in Germany. The tournament premiered as the revived German Masters from February 2 to 6, 2011 in the Tempodrom in Berlin. Was instrumental in Brandon Parker as Official of World Snooker, who had already been involved in the establishment of the Paul Hunter Classic. During the five-day event, 14,000 paying spectators came to the Tempodrom. The final was won by Mark Williams against Mark Selby .
In 2012 the number of viewers rose to 20,000. With PartyPoker.net there was also a name-giving main sponsor for the first time.
In 2014 they tried to increase the starting field in Berlin from 32 to 64 players. Since you stayed on 5 days of the event, you had to play at 8 tournament tables and move to a side arena with one of them. But after a year they reverted to the old mode.
In 2016, the Paul Hunter Classic was upgraded, so that from this season there were two official German ranking tournaments, but they still had a different format and of which the German Masters remained the significantly higher endowed tournament.
The eponymous sponsors changed twice in 2017 and 2018, and in 2017 Anthony Hamilton won his first ranking tournament by beating Ali Carter 9: 6 in the final . In 2019, Kyren Wilson was the first player to win both German tournaments in one season.
