It featured ten invited players, nine of whom had featured in the 1975 tournament. Dennis Taylor made his Masters debut, replacing Bill Werbeniuk.

The previous year's runner-up Ray Reardon won the tournament, defeating Graham Miles 7–3 in the final. It was the only Masters title of Reardon's career. Aged 43 years and 114 days at the time of his win, Reardon remained the oldest winner of the event until Stuart Bingham won the title in 2020, aged 43 years and 243 days.

The highest break of the tournament was 97 by Eddie Charlton.
