Scottish Masters (snooker)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scottish Masters, often known by its sponsored names, the Lang's Scottish Masters or the Regal Scottish Masters, was a non-ranking professional snooker tournament held every year from 1981-2002 (except 1988). The tournament was invitational and held in various locations in Scotland, including the Hospitality Inn and the Thistle Hotel (both in Glasgow) and the Civic Centre in Motherwell. Following the ban on tobacco advertising, the tournament was unable to find a new sponsor and was abandoned. It was won three times apiece by Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan.
