- Joe O’Connor £105,000 (+£69,000)
Unsurprisingly, it is Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen who sits top of the tree with over half a million pounds earned so far this season at ranking events and three titles already secured. Headlined by his victory at the UK Championship, which bagged him the top prize of £250,000, Allen has already improved upon his 2021/22 points haul by £340,500.
He is closely followed by Players and Tour Championship winner Shaun Murphy, who despite not earning as much as Allen prior to the Crucible, has experienced a similar gain having won just £55,500 last term. It is a similar story for four-time king of the world Mark Selby, who has improved upon last season’s total of £98,000 by securing £255,500 following his victories at the English Open and WST Classic.
The next players in the list are dominated by title winners, including British Open champions Ryan Day, German Masters winner Ali Carter, Welsh Open champion Robert Milkins and European Masters winner Kyren Wilson, with only Milkins having also won a title last season.
Three players who have reached the top ten – despite not having lifted ranking event silverware so far this term – are Ding Junhui, Pang Junxu and Joe O’Connor. Like many others in the above list, Ding earned a relatively low amount during the 2021/22 season with just £63,000 banked, but thanks in part to his final run at the UK Championship has already secured £180,500 this term.
Both Pang and O’Connor have made significant breakthroughs on the circuit this season, each having reached their maiden ranking event finals at the WST Classic and Scottish Open tournaments respectively.
