1989 Masters (snooker)

The 1989 Benson & Hedges Masters was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 22 and 29 January 1989 at the Wembley Conference Centre in London, England. The prize money for the highest break was £6,000. The top 16 players were invited for the tournament.

Stephen Hendry won the Masters at hist first attempt after joining the top 16 by defeating John Parrott 9–6 in the final. This was Hendry's first of his five consecutive Masters titles.

The tournament was rocked by scandal after the first round match between Silvino Francisco and Terry Griffiths on 23 January. After Griffiths beat Francisco 5–1, it was discovered that there had been heavy betting on that exact score. Both players were questioned. Francisco was arrested exactly a year later concerning the 1989 Masters and the 1986 Masters, where he lost 5-1 in the first round to Tony Knowles. In May 1990 he was cleared of involvement in the alleged betting coups.

Field

Steve Davis, defending champion and World Champion was the number 1 seed. The remaining places were allocated to players based on the world rankings. Peter Francisco, Stephen Hendry and Cliff Wilson were making their debuts in the Masters.
