Ronnie O'Sullivan'The Rocket'6x Snooker World Champion
Ronnie O'Sullivan has been World Champion on six occasions (2001,2004, 2008, 2012, 2013 and 2020), and is second on the all-time prize-money list, with career earnings of over £7 million, behind only Stephen Hendry. Ronnie has been #1 in the world pretty much exclusively since turning professional in 1992 (apart from his brief self-inflicted exiles from the sport) and has broken nearly every single record that has ever stood for snooker, many of which he still holds to this day. He has five World Championships, seven Masters and six UK Championship titles alongside having won 31 ranking tournaments as of July 2018. Ronnie O'Sullivan achieved possibly the greatest feat of his career after taking six months off the game before successfully returning to defend his World Snooker Championship title, putting in a brilliant performance to beat Barry Hawkins 18-12 in the 2013 final at the Crucible. To this day O'Sullivan continues to surpass all barriers in his way and recently added another famous record to his belt, in a career chalk full of dizzying success. The record breaker made 101 in the first frame of his 6-1 quarter final victory against Marco Fu at The Masters, making Ronnie the snooker professional with the most century perfect breaks, eclipsing Steven Hendry's record. Hendry later joked that he wanted O'Sullivan to retire, to stop him from breaking his other record of seven World Snooker titles. Since 2012, Ronnie has gone from strength to strength, winning the World Championship a further three times and further solidifying his status as the best snooker player the world has ever seen.

Ronnie O'Sullivan Profile and News from three-times world Snooker champion Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Without doubt Ronnie O’Sullivan is the most influential snooker player in the world, so you would do your best to keep him happy. However, World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn doesn’t appear to be in O’Sullivan’s good books at present. The current favourite for the Betway UK Championship claimed that Hearn is running a ‘dictatorship.’
If you asked a snooker fan at your local club how Ronnie O'Sullivan was able to equal the joint-record of five ranking titles in a single season last year, they'd probably say it's because he's the greatest of all time, or possibly a genius. Both are partially true, but O'Sullivan himself reckons he's achieved something a bit more special and unique than that. O'Sullivan, who has spent 25 years on the pro tour, reckons it's down to his new recent healthy-eating diet.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has further extended the record of most century breaks made in professional events by knocking in a further two to reach 950 total in his semi-final victory against Stuart Bingham at the Shanghai Masters.
Five-time World Snooker Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan has confirmed that he is pulling out of the upcoming European Masters event in Lommel, Belgium.
Ronnie “The Rocket” O’Sullivan is quite simply the greatest player to ever pick up a cue. This is obviously high praise for anyone but you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone in the entire world who disagrees with you, and if they do, they are wrong.
The World Snooker Championship at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre remains the green baize sport’s showpiece event, but has the format grown a little stale? Five-time winner Ronnie O’Sullivan certainly thinks so after blasting the tournament as “boring”. The Rocket recently indicated on social media he could miss the end-of-season event to film a pool TV show, Hustle, in Australia.
Ronnie O'Sullivan continues to entertain sports fans and despite recently crashing out of the 2018 Masters to eventual champion Mark Allen, he is still playing top-class snooker 25 years after first bursting onto the scene.
Ronnie O’Sullivan got the season into full swing with a comprehensive win over Kyren Wilson in the English Open, and from the way he played, you would not bet against this being the first of several this season.
In a exciting addition for the 2016/2017 World Snooker tour, a 'Home Nations' series of ranking tournaments will be staged in the UK starting with the new English Open event in Manchester on October 10-16.
