Tian first competed on the main tour in the 2006/2007 season, dropping off the tour in the following season.
As a wild card, Tian defeated Ronnie O'Sullivan 5-3 in the last 32 of the 2010 China Open at the Students University Stadium in Beijing. In an astonishing finish to the match, O'Sullivan missed a simple final black off its spot which would have levelled the score at 4–4. He also recorded some impressive victories in the Wuxi Classic, by beating Mark Selby 5–3 and Joe Perry 5–1, before being whitewashed 6–0 by Ding Junhui. Despite these results, he was not awarded a wild card by World Snooker to compete on the main tour.
The next professional tournament he competed in was the Beijing International Challenge. In the group stages he recorded wins over Stephen Hendry and Stephen Maguire, before beating Liang Wenbo 6–4 and Ryan Day 9–3 to win the title.[1]
Tian qualified for the 2011/2012 main tour as a semi-finalist from the second Q School event. Tian won his first two qualifying matches for the Australian Goldfields Open before being given a bye into the final qualifying round due to the withdrawal of anthony Hamilton [2]. In the final round Tian lost 5-4 to Mark Davis.
