Istorie

Câtă vreme a existat seria PTC, acest turneu s-a numit, mai întâi, "PTC Grand Finals", apoi "Players Championship Grand Final," deși nu era din cale-afară de nimerit să numești "Grand Finals" un turneu al cărui format e de best of 7, de la prima rundă până la ultima. Finala a căpătat un format respectabil abia în 2016, iar în 2017, turneul s-a smuls cu totul din trecutul PTC-ist. Prestigiul a crescut și pentru că, acum, competiția debutează cu optimile, unde îi grupează pe primii 16 din clasamentul sezonului.
