So players are battling for a place in that top 32 throughout the season so they can make sure of a place in Preston.
World number six Hawkins said: “Winning the trophy in Preston last year was up there with the highlights of my career, alongside playing in the World Championship final against Ronnie O’Sullivan in 2013.“All the best players were in the tournament and to win the title against such a strong field was unbelievable.“I’ve won three ranking titles and two of them came at the Guild Hall so it has been a great venue for me.
– there’s something about it I love and I’m glad the World Grand Prix is staying there.“From the start of the season all the players have an eye on the one-year ranking list and making sure we’re in this one and then the Players Championship. They are two massive tournaments and if you miss out you are falling behind everyone else. If you’re in them, you can win big money,†he added.
