2019 Tour Championship.The 2019 Tour Championship was a professional snooker ranking tournament, held from 19 to 24 March 2019 in Llandudno, Wales. Organised by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, it was the 18th ranking event of the 2018–19 season. The top eight players based on the single-year ranking list took part in a single elimination tournament. Each match was played over a minimum of two sessions, the final as a best-of-25-frames match over two days. In a repeat of the Players Championship final two weeks prior, Ronnie O'Sullivan (pictured) met Neil Robertson in the final. O'Sullivan won the match 13–11 to claim his 36th ranking title, equalling Stephen Hendry's record of ranking event wins. This was O'Sullivan's third ranking title win of the season. On winning the tournament, O'Sullivan returned to the world number one position for the first time since May 2010, and became the oldest world number one since Ray Reardon in 1983.
