Scottish Open Snooker draw, timetable, TV station, odds, and prize money for 2023.
Retaining his Scottish Open championship from the previous year is Gary Wilson.
The Scottish Open kicks off in style this Monday with the final ranking event of the calendar year held in Edinburgh.
Neil Robertson hasn’t entered, so he won’t be present when the world’s top 16 compete on the first day.
The Scottish Open is an important competition in and of itself, but it will also be critical for players aiming to advance to the World Grand Prix in Leicester the following month.
Enough ranking points will be up for grabs in the Scottish capital to ensure that the top 32 finishers on the one-year list advance to the Grand Prix. After defeating Joe O’Connor in the championship match to win his first ranking title, Gary Wilson emerged victorious last year.
