The WPBSA World Seniors Tour is the professional Snooker tour for seniors players founded in 2018 following the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association releasing a statement in December 2017, for an official Seniors tour, running in parallel to the main Snooker tour. Events in the Tour follow from previous events run by sister company Snooker Legends.

A previous four tournament season consisted of a series of 4 non-ranking events in the 2017/2018 season: the UK Seniors Championship, the Seniors Irish Masters, The Seniors Masters and the World Seniors Championship. In 2018, after the formation of the official tour, additional events filled the calendar, to a total of 6 events.[3] [4][5] Other qualifying events for amateurs held in Canada, Hong Kong, Belgium and the United States of America were also held.[1][6]
