The Coral World Grand Prix 2019 was a snooker tournament of the Snooker Main Tour of the 2018/19 season . It was held from February 4th to 10th, 2019. After two years in Wales and two years in Preston , the fifth edition of the tournament took place in Cheltenham . The venue is The Centaur , an event building belonging to the well-known horse racing track .
The 32 most successful players in the one-year ranking of the season so far from the Riga Masters 2018 to the German Masters 2019 , which ended just before the start of the tournament, were qualified for the Grand Prix .
