This season, the top player in the world has already won the UK Championship and the Masters.
O’Sullivan, a vocal opponent of the snooker schedule, claims that the season has been difficult.
The 48-year-old posted on X, saying, “I hope to see you all soon and I’m sorry I won’t be there.”
He fought his way to victory over Alfie Burden in a Barnsley World Open qualification on Wednesday, capping off his triumph at the World Grand Prix last week.
In 33 games this season, the seven-time world champion has only lost three times and won fifteen of the previous sixteen.
Starting on Monday, Barry Pinches, who was O’Sullivan’s replacement in the German Masters draw, will face Julien Leclercq.
