Prior to this season, this tournament was part of the Players Tour Championship: however, that minor-ranking series was cancelled for this season, and the "Grand Final" event at the end was renamed to be its own ranking event called the Players Championship. It was played between the top 16 players on a one-year ranking list.
Mark Allen was the defending champion, but he did not qualify for this year's tournament.
Judd Trump won the tournament, beating Marco Fu 10–8 in the final.
