He became the youngest player to make a maximum 147 break in an open age tournament at the 1991 English Amateur Championship (a record since surpassed by Sean Maddocks) and would turn professional a year later after winning the World Under-21 Championship in India. In 2014 he scored a record 556 points without reply against Ricky Walden at the Masters.Ī prodigiously talented junior, O’Sullivan compiled his first century break (117) at the age of just 10 before going on to claim the British Under-16 Championship at 13. O’Sullivan remains the youngest-ever winner of a ranking event (UK Championship) and the Masters, demonstrating his longevity in the sport. He has also held the world number one ranking on four separate occasions, most recently returning to top spot in 2019 for the first time in nine years.

O’Sullivan also holds the record for the most ratified maximum breaks (15) in professional competition, notably including the fastest recorded 147 against Mick Price at the 1997 World Championship. He has compiled more century breaks than any other player to date and in 2019 became the first player to have reached 1,000 career centuries. O’Sullivan holds the all-time record of 37 ranking event victories and has triumphed at the Masters and UK Championship each on an unmatched seven occasions. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players that snooker has ever seen, England’s Ronnie O’Sullivan has won a record 20 triple crown events including six World Championship titles.
