The 1988 Masters (officially the 1988 Benson & Hedges Masters) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 24 and 31 January 1988 at the Wembley Conference Centre in London, England.[1] The players ranked inside the top 16 took part in the competition.[3]
Defending champion, Dennis Taylor, lost in the first round against Mike Hallett, who had made his debut. Steve Davis won his second Masters title by defeating Hallett 9 frames to 0. This is the only time a whitewash has occurred in a Masters final.[4]
Davis received £56,000 as winner, plus £5,000 for making the highest break of the tournament, a 126 in the second frame of the final.[3]
