UPDATED PROVISIONAL RANKING LISTS

WPBSA has published ranking lists for the Race to the 2023 Cazoo Masters and the provisional end of season rankings.

As usual, the top 16 players after the Cazoo UK Championship in November will qualify for the Cazoo Masters in London in January 2023. As it stands, Ricky Walden is in 16th placed and on course for a first Masters appearance since 2016. But both David Gilbert and Hossein Vafaei – who has never played in the event – are just £500 behind.

Tickets for certain sessions are still available for the Cazoo Masters at Alexandra Palace (January 8-15) and there are incredible VIP and Century Club packages up for grabs – for all details click here.

World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan tops the provisional end of season list, followed by Neil Robertson, Judd Trump and Zhao Xintong. Four-time Crucible king Mark Selby is in 23rd spot and has plenty of catching up to do as the season unfolds.
