A quick note to let you know that World Snooker have today published the entry lists for the next five PTC events which you can view by clicking here. I have not yet had time to go through the entry lists and play the game of ‘spot the absentees’ but it is noticeable that the likes of Ronnie O’Sullivan, Ding Junhui, Mark Selby and Mark Williams have opted out of the final event to be held before the first mid-season seedings cut-off point, the PTC6 in Poland.
Also absent is Stephen Hendry in a move which could well cost him a place at the Masters in January.
