Yes, O'Sullivan was planning to give the IPT a full try. He played in the Las Vegas event, the North American Open 8-Ball Championship, winning 5 of his 13 matches. He missed the second event, the World Open 8-Ball Championship, because of an ear infection. And then the IPT was over (except for some challenge matches that did not involve O'Sullivan).
