This page lists every winner of the Masters snooker tournament since the invitational event was first staged in 1975.
Alongside the complete list of champions, it also includes the players who have won the Masters title the most times.
The Masters is one of snooker’s prestigious Triple Crown events, alongside the World Championship and the UK Championship.
Unlike those tournaments, however, it is an invitational event featuring the world’s leading players – usually comprising the top 16 from the official world rankings list.
