Mark Selby holds his spot as world number one but Ronnie O’Sullivan is hot on his heels.
The Rocket picked up five ranking titles last term, equalling the record of Stephen Hendry, Ding Junhui and Selby for the most wins in a single season.
Mark Allen finally collected his first piece of Triple Crown silverware by winning the 2018 Masters.
“I have knocked on the door for so long, but now I can say that I have won a Triple Crown title,” the Northern Irishman said.
Welsh star Mark Williams, 43, tasted victory at the Crucible for the third time in his career last season to become the oldest world champion since Ray Reardon in 1978.
“What happened last season was unbelievable and I am probably not expecting it to happen again if I am honest,” Williams said.
“I’m going to try my best like I always do, just enjoy it, see what happens and not worry about anything.”
