Snooker Players Championship 2024 Favourites
The Players Championship is one of the three events in the Players Series, and features the top 16 players on the one-year ranking list. Formerly known as the Players Tour Championship Finals, the competition changed its name to the Players Championship in 2017. The location of the event changes each year, with the competition being held at the Telford International Centre for the first time this year. Shaun Murphy is the current reigning champion, having won in 2023.
So what do we know about the top contenders to win the Snooker Players Championship 2024? Here, we take a closer look at each of the bookies’ favourites.
Mark Selby
Mark Selby is currently number five in the World Snooker Tour rankings, having held the number one spot multiple times between 2011 and 2022. Crowned World Champion four times in his career (2014, 2016, 2017 and 2021), he has 22 ranking tournament wins under his belt and scored five maximum breaks and 808 century breaks in competitive play. In this history of the Snooker Players Championship Selby has never reached the final, but the bookies fancy him as first favourite to win this time around.
John Higgins
John Higgins is currently ranked number 12 in the World Snooker Tour rankings, having last placed at the top of the charts in 2011. Higgins has enjoyed 31 ranking tournament wins, with a whopping 985 century breaks and 13 maximum breaks in his career spanning more than three decades. He has also been crowned World Champion four times, in 1998, 2007, 2009 and 2011. He has won the Players Championship once, in 2021.
So far this 2023/24 season, John Higgins has reached plenty of semi-finals but been unable to clinch any big wins but the bookies have him at second favourite to win the 2024 Players Championship, so perhaps his luck is about to change.
Judd Trump
Judd Trump is currently ranked second in the World Snooker Tour rankings, having placed at number one repeatedly between 2012 and 2021. He has won the Snooker Players Championship twice before, in 2017 and 2020, was crowned World Champion in 2019 and has enjoyed 967 century breaks and eight maximum breaks across his professional career. Judd Trump has experienced a good deal of success in the 2023/24 season so far, and the bookies fancy his chances at further success in this competition.
