“World Seniors Snooker (WSS) was established by the WPBSA in June 2018 to provide opportunities for players over 40 to be able to extend their snooker careers beyond the professional World Snooker Tour.
From the former greats of the professional sport including world champions who have still got the desire to play competitively, to talented amateurs who still crave the opportunity to live their snooker dreams, the WSS Tour provides opportunities for senior players around the world.
Since 2020, tournaments have for the first time also been open to current professional players ranked outside of the world’s top 64, providing a direct link to the World Snooker Tour.”

Although there has been a seniors event for the professionals previously, in 2017 it changed to non-tour players aged over 40.
They played for the privilege of meeting some of the legends of the sport and in 2017 Peter Lines won the event beating John Parrott in the final. Other legends such as Stephen Hendry also featured in the event.
The WPBSA then took over in 2018 allowing professionals ranked outside the top 64 to take part.
WSS is also a member of the World Snooker Federation.
