2018 Seniors Masters

The 2018 Seniors Masters was a senior snooker tournament which took place on 12 April 2018 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. It was the fourth and final event on the newly created World Seniors Tour.

Cliff Thorburn won the title beating Jonathan Bagley 2–1 on a re-spotted black ball which replaced the final frame decider in the final. Thorburn, at the age of 70, became the oldest winner of a World Seniors title; the previous record belonged to Steve Davis, who was 60 when he won the 2018 Seniors Irish Masters.
