World Snooker Tour awards


The World Snooker Tour produces annual awards in several categories, including player of the year.
The Association of Snooker Writers, founded by a group of journalists who wrote about snooker in 1981, first instituted awards for players and others associated with the game in 1983. From 1985, the awards were taken over by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association. In 1998, the journalists' group was reformed as the Snooker Writers' Association, and the awards were in that body's name for several years. The awards are now administered by the World Snooker Tour.
