SOME of the world’s best snooker players return to the table for the highly anticipated 2025 Shanghai Masters – and the seven-day competition promises to be nothing short of thrilling.
Ronnie O’Sullivan’s dreams of clinching the title for an unprecedented fifth year in a row got shattered by Judd Trump during the 2024 competition.

The world No 1 dismantled The Rocket in a dominant semi-final, before going on to lift the trophy with an 11-5 win in the showpiece match against Shaun Murphy.
But it was a final that began with an emotional minute’s silence for snooker legend Ray Reardon who sadly passed away after having cancer.
Fast forward a year later, O’Sullivan has been dumped out once again but by Kyren Wilson this time.
And there will certainly be a new winner as reigning champion Judd Trump has also suffered an early exit.
SunSport brings you the full schedule for this year’s Shanghai Masters which has a staggering prize pot awaiting the winner.
