The 2015 World Seniors Championship (Known for sponsorship reasons as the Betway World Seniors Championship) was a snooker tournament that took place between 2–3 March 2015 at the Circus Arena in Blackpool, England.[1]
The Circus Arena played host to the tournament for the first time, having previously being held at the Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth.[2]
The age limit of the event was reduced from 45 to 40 years, allowing players such as Mark Williams, Peter Ebdon, Dominic Dale and Fergal O'Brien to enter. Players had to be aged 40 or above at the end of the 2015 World Championship (4 May 2015).[2]
Steve Davis was the defending champion,[3] but he lost 0–2 against Fergal O'Brien in the quarter-finals. Mark Williams won his 26th professional title by defeating Fergal O'Brien 2–1 in the final.[4][5]
