2019 Players Championship (snooker)


The 2019 Coral Players Championship was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 4–10 March 2019 in Preston, Lancashire, England. It was the sixteenth ranking event of the 2018/2019 season and a part of the newly created Coral Cup.
Ronnie O'Sullivan successfully defended his 2018 title by defeating Neil Robertson 10–4 in the final. This was O'Sullivan's 35th ranking title, one away from Stephen Hendry's record of 36 ranking titles. O'Sullivan made 3 centuries during the final, including one in the final match-winning frame; this was his 1,000th century break in competitive play, becoming the first player ever to reach that mark.
