2022/23 snooker calendar after World Mixed Doubles and Tour Championship updates – Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump news

The 2022/23 snooker season is starting to shape up with the addition of the World Mixed Doubles to the calendar and a new home for the elite eight-man Tour Championship.

The four leading players in the world rankings will be joined by the top quartet in the women’s game – Reanne Evans, Ng On Yee, world champion Nutcharut Wongharuthai and Rebecca Kenna – on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 September to compete for a title last contested in 1991 and won by Steve Davis and Allison Fisher.

The Tour Championship – the penultimate event of the season before the 47th World Championship in Sheffield – moves from Llandudno to Hull between 27 March to 2 April and is contested between the top eight on the one-year ranking list after the Turkish Masters.

Outside of the main ranking events, the Six-red World Championship will be staged in Bangkok in September for the first time since 2019 when Stephen Maguire defeated John Higgins 8-6 in the final.

The Champion of Champions event returns to Bolton in October with the Masters – involving the world’s top 16 players – hosted by Alexandra Palace in London in its traditional date at the outset of 2023.
