Cahill managed to win just three matches during the 2013/2014 season to end his first season on tour ranked world number 117.
2014/2015 season
Cahill's second season saw him improve his game as he twice reached the last 32 in the minor-ranking European Tour events. The 18-year-old then went on his best ever run in a ranking event during the 2014 UK Championship. He won comfortably in the first round, beating veteran Mark King 6–0 and then saw off former Welsh Open finalist Andrew Higginson 6–4. Cahill faced world number three Ding Junhui, a player who had won five ranking titles last season, and raced into a 5–1 lead. Ding won three frames in a row and needed three snookers in the next frame which he got when Cahill left a free ball. Cahill responded by taking the deciding frame to record the biggest victory of his career to date. In the last 16 Cahill said he couldn't believe how badly he had played after his tournament ended with a 6–2 loss to Mark Davis. Cahill would have a poor end to the season as he lost seven out of eight matches after this which would have relegated him from the tour as he finished 85th in the world rankings. However, his aforementioned good play in the European Tour events saw him finish high enough on the Order of Merit to claim a place on the tour for the next two seasons.
James Cahill was born on August 13, 1926 in Fort Bragg, California. His parents were divorced when he was two, and he lived with a number of relatives and friends. He became interested in literature and music at the Berkeley High School.
In 1943 Cahill entered the University of California, Berkeley, initially to study English, but decided to study Japanese instead because of World War II. He was later drafted into the US Army, and served as a translator in Japan and Korea from 1946 to 1948. In Asia he became interested in collecting paintings. In 1948 he returned to UC Berkeley and received a bachelor's degree in Oriental languages in 1950. He then studied art history under Max Loehr at the University of Michigan, earning his master's in 1952 and Ph.D. in 1958. In 1954 and 1955 Cahill studied at Kyoto University in Japan as a Fulbright Scholar.

Curatorial Conversation: Tiepolo Blue with author and art historian James Cahill
Curator of Greek and Roman Art Ruth Allen joins art historian and author James Cahill as they discuss his “electric” debut novel, Tiepolo Blue, in which the life and career of a revered but repressed British art historian at the height of his powers are turned upside-down, leading to a sexual awakening, a self-reckoning, and a fall from grace.
“Such delicious unease and pervasive threat give this assured first novel great singularity and a kind of gothic edge. We move from campus satire to something altogether stranger, more shadowy – queerer in every sense of the word.” —The Guardian
‘The smart, sexy read you need in 2022.’ —Evening Standard
