After having major personal problems with drinking, this player did not return the following year to defend this big title he'd won the previous year.
What tournament and what player was this?

Correct Prop!
Ronnie won the 97 UK Champs, but withdrew from the 98 edition and didn't defend the title, citing anxiety and was at a time when he had major drinking problems, one of the main reasons he went to rehab in 2000.

A tournament played in London, Nottingham, Liverpool and eventually Birmingham for the epic final.
The tournament high break was a 60.
The winner of the final would become a household name for years to come.
Name the tournament and the year

I'm guessing Joe Davis must be the player that is the household name and the world snooker championship is the tournament. It is just a question of the year and the opponent.

I will guess the first world championship in 1927 with Joe Davis being the winner.
I'm just not sure about the opponent but that hasn't been asked for fortunately.

Ranking final between 2 players of the same nationality.
The player that was strong favourite would win the final and defeat the future world champion.
It would prove to be the strong favourites last ranking title.
