The 2017 German Masters (officially the 2017 F66.com German Masters) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 1–5 February 2017 at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany. It was the twelfth ranking event of the 2016/2017 season.
Martin Gould was the defending champion but he lost 2–6 against Ali Carter in the semi-finals.[1]
Tom Ford made the 128th official maximum break and the third of his career in the second frame of his 5–2 win over Peter Ebdon in the first round.[2] Maximum breaks had already been made in the qualifying rounds by both Ali Carter and Ross Muir.[3]
