2022 World Seniors Championship

The 2022 World Seniors Championship (officially the 2022 Ways Facilities Management World Seniors Snooker Championship) was a snooker tournament that took place from 4 to 8 May 2022 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. The 13th edition of the World Seniors Championship, first held in 1991, it was organised by the World Seniors Tour. The tour is open to players aged over 40 who are not in the top 64 of the world rankings. Qualifying rounds were held from 14 to 19 December 2021 and 8 to 13 February 2022 at the Crucible Sports and Social Club in Reading. Players who had qualified for that season's cancelled Seniors Masters and Seniors Irish Masters events were invited to compete at the World Seniors Championship instead.

Dominic Dale was scheduled to participate, but he re-entered the top 64 in the world rankings after the 2022 World Championship qualifiers, rendering him ineligible to compete. Michael Holt took Dale's place as the highest ranked eligible player. Maria Catalano, who had turned 40 in February, became the first woman to reach the final stages of a seniors event. She lost 0–3 to Wael Talaat in the last 24. Stephen Hendry played competitively for the first time since his first-round defeat at the 2021 UK Championship but lost 0–3 to Lee Walker in the last 16. After losing 0–3 to Nigel Bond in the last 16, John Parrott announced his retirement from the seniors tour. He received a standing ovation as he displayed the World Championship trophy, which he won in 1991.

David Lilley was the defending champion, having defeated Jimmy White 5–3 in the 2021 final, but he lost 3–4 to Walker in the semi-finals, despite winning the first three frames. White reached a fourth consecutive final and led 3–1 and 4–2, but Walker won the last three frames to clinch a 5–4 victory and win his first seniors title. The final stage of the tournament produced three century breaks. The tournament's highest break was a 138 by White in his quarter-final match against Rory McLeod.
