The Masters 2025 snooker order of play: Schedule today (Sunday 12th January)
Your daily guide to The Masters 2025, including order of play and full schedule.
The Masters is shaping up beautifully, with a mouthwatering opening day of matches ready to set the tone for the week at Ally Pally.
Reigning champion Ronnie O'Sullivan has withdrawn from the event on the eve of the tournament on medical grounds, meaning Neil Robertson has been handed a call-up to play the opening clash – a duel against John Higgins.
O'Sullivan toppled Ali Carter in last year's final to rack up an unprecedented eighth Masters title.
World No. 1 Judd Trump enters the contest as the favourite to go all the way given his dominance over the sport in recent seasons.
However, the line-up is typically bristling with stars. To win it all, you have to beat the best. Who will etch their name into the history books this week?
RadioTimes.com brings you The Masters 2025 daily order of play.
