The 1982 Professional Players Tournament was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place in two venues in the Birmingham area. One was at the La Reserve in Sutton Coldfield and the other was the International Snooker Club in Aston.[1] It was the first tournament in a series which is now known as the World Open. The event was untelevised and unsponsored.[2]
