The 2012 BGC Masters was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament held between 15–22 January 2012 at the Alexandra Palace in London, England.[1] This was the first time that Stephen Hendry didn't participate at the Masters since his début in 1989,[2][3] and the first time that BGC Partners sponsored the event.[4]

Ding Junhui was the defending champion, but he lost in the first round 4–6 against Ronnie O'Sullivan.[5] Ronnie O'Sullivan made the highest break of the tournament in the second round against Judd Trump, making a 141.

Neil Robertson won his first Masters title by defeating Shaun Murphy 10–6 in the final.[6] This was Robertson's 10th professional title.

Defending champion Ding Junhui was the number 1 seed with World Champion John Higgins seeded 2. The remaining places were allocated to players based on the latest world rankings (revision 2). Martin Gould was making his debut in the Masters.
