Turkish Masters
The Turkish Masters was a professional ranking snooker tournament that was held for the first -- and currently only -- time in March 2022 at the Nirvana Cosmopolitan Hotel in Antalya, Turkey. The Turkish Billiards Federation, Big Break Promotions and World Snooker Tour agreed on a deal to stage the event every season until at least 2024/2025, with overall prize money increasing each year.

However, the 2023 Turkish Masters, scheduled to take place from 13 to 19 March of that year, was cancelled because the local promoter could not guarantee adequate funding for the event. The 2024 edition is presently unknown, as it was not included on the calendar for the season, although a gap exists after the Players' Championship where the event may be held, if the promoters can secure the funding needed.
