Organised by the World Snooker Tour, it comprised the top eight players on the one-year ranking list.

It was the third and final event of the season's Cazoo Series, following the Players Championship and the World Grand Prix.

Broadcast by ITV4 in the United Kingdom, the event featured a prize fund of £370,000, of which the winner received £150,000.

Robertson retained his title, coming from 4–9 behind in the final to defeat John Higgins 10–9 and win his 23rd ranking tournament, putting him level with Judd Trump at sixth place on the all-time list of ranking event winners.

[4][5] The Tour Championship featured the top eight players from the one-year ranking list taking part in a single-elimination tournament.

[2][8][9] The defending champion was Neil Robertson, who won the 2021 event, defeating Ronnie O'Sullivan 10–4 in the final.

He played John Higgins, who narrowly qualified for the tournament after Ricky Walden was unable to win enough points during the Gibraltar Open.

[19] In the evening session, Allen won five of the first six, before Robertson produced back-to-back centuries of 121 and 130 to win the match 10–6.

O'Sullivan led by 50 points in the seventh, but Williams made a 92 clearance to win the frame.

[25] Williams fell 47 points behind in the penultimate frame but won it on the colours to force a decider.

[22] Both players had chances, but O'Sullivan clinched the match after Williams missed a long pot on the final red.

[23] The quality of the match was widely praised; media called it a "classic",[23] an "epic",[22] and a "thriller".

Trump then made back-to-back centuries of 140 (the tournament's highest break) and 103, but Brecel won the next two to clinch a 10–6 win.

[34] O'Sullivan went ahead with a 112 break in the next frame, his fifth century of the match,[35] but Robertson won the final two frames to clinch the match 10–9,[36] guaranteeing that he would win the Cazoo Cup, regardless of the outcome of the final, having won the Players Championship and been runner-up in the World Grand Prix, the other two Cazoo Series events.

The players had faced each other in the Scottish Open final earlier in the season, Brecel winning 9–5 on that occasion.

[41] Higgins moved 7–4 ahead in the evening session before Brecel won three frames in a row to level the scores at 7–7.

[43] The first frame lasted over 50 minutes, the longest of the tournament, Higgins winning it on the final black ball.

In frame six, Robertson attempted a maximum break but missed the final blue ball.

[45] It was also the third time in the season that Higgins had lost a ranking final after requiring just one frame for victory.
