And as result, the English icon took home a winning share of £150,000.

However, Murphy will not be participating and even revealed last year that he considered quitting snooker after struggling with a loss of form, weight gain and mental health.

Meaning that there is set to be a new champion and someone else will be taking home a big bag of money.
