2025 German Masters
Updated: 12/11/2025, 1:05:14 PM Wikipedia source
The 2025 German Masters (officially the 2025 Machineseeker German Masters) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 27 January to 2 February 2025 at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany. The 12th ranking event of the 2024–25 season, following the 2024 Scottish Open and preceding the 2025 Welsh Open, it was broadcast by Eurosport and Discovery+ in Europe and by other broadcasters internationally. The winner received £100,000 from a total prize fund of £550,400, the Brandon Parker trophy, and a place in the 2025 Champion of Champions invitational event. Judd Trump was the defending champion, having defeated Si Jiahui 10–5 in the 2024 final, but Trump lost 2–5 to Neil Robertson in the last 16. For the first time in the tournament's history, the final went to a deciding frame. Kyren Wilson, the reigning World Champion, defeated Barry Hawkins 10–9 to win the tournament for a second time, following his previous victory in 2019. It was the ninth ranking title of Wilson's professional career. The event produced 101 century breaks, 31 during the qualifying stage and 70 at the main stage. The highest break of the tournament was a 145 by Si in his last‑64 match against Ken Doherty.
