The Short Mat Players Tour UK Open 2026 draw was completed last night, with 5 of our members making the trip to Chelmsford for the season's opening event.
Martin was drawn in group 6 and has a favourable draw, being second in the group in terms of ranking and win %.
Chris and Mark have been drawn together in group 28 alongside a couple of big names from Ireland, serial winner and current world no 2, Gary McNabb and multiple medalist Martin McNicholl. Making this one of the toughest groups in the competition!
Alan and Caroline have also been drawn into the same group. They will face each other for the first time on the tour, in what could be a very tight group with little to choose between all the players.
Good luck everyone!
