History
[change | change source]On 29 April 2015, World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said that an event called the "English Open" would be held for the first time in 2016. It would be part of a new Home Nations Series. This was with the Welsh Open, Northern Ireland Open and Scottish Open tournaments.[1][2] The winner of the event is given the Steve Davis Trophy.[3]
The first event took place between 10 and 16 October 2016,[4] and was won by Liang Wenbo.[5]
