The World No 1 will be determined to reclaim his title ahead of a whole host of top snooker stars.

One huge name that won’t be involved is Ronnie O’Sullivan after he withdrew from the tournament due to “medical reasons”.

The likes of John Higgins, Kyren Wilson and Jimmy White will also participate.

However, former World Champions Mark Selby, Stuart Bingham and Luca Brecel all miss out.
