The tournament was won by incumbent World Champion Camden Riviere. Riviere would go on to win the 2018 edition as well. In the final, he beat Ben Taylor-Matthews, his first of four finals appearances. The two also met in the first round, with Riviere also the victor.

The qualifying was one group of four players, with the top two players progressing to the main draw.
The Champions Trophy operates a repechage format for the first four seeds, where the first round losers progress to a second quarter final against the winners between the fifth and sixth seeds and the qualifiers. Australian amateur Kieran Booth was originally listed as the fifth seed but withdrew, promoting John Lumley to the main draw and Peter Wright into qualifying.[2] [3]
