History

[edit | edit source]

The event was introduced in the 2012–2013 season. It was dubbed as the "first overseas major", due to the same level of ranking points as the UK Championship at the time.[2] The tournament once offered the highest prize fund outside of the United Kingdom until 2018, when China Open had its winner's cheque raised to £225,000.[3][4][5] The 2012 edition ran from 28 October to 4 November in Chengdu, China, and it was won by Judd Trump, who defeated Neil Robertson 10–8 in the final.[6]
