The Turkish Masters was a professional ranking snooker tournament that was held for the first -- and currently only -- time in March 2022 at the Nirvana Cosmopolitan Hotel in Antalya, Turkey. The Turkish Billiards Federation, Big Break Promotions and World Snooker Tour agreed on a deal to stage the event every season until at least 2024/2025, with overall prize money increasing each year.[2][3]

However, the 2023 Turkish Masters, scheduled to take place from 13 to 19 March of that year, was cancelled because the local promoter could not guarantee adequate funding for the event.[4][5] The 2024 edition is presently unknown, as it was not included on the calendar for the season, although a gap exists after the Players' Championship where the event may be held, if the promoters can secure the funding needed.[6]
