Ronnie O'Sullivan has won a record 23 Triple Crown events.

The Triple Crown in the sport of snooker is the achievement of winning three specific events: the UK Championship, the Masters, and the World Snooker Championship. [1] First introduced in 1927, the World Snooker Championship reverted to being played as a knockout tournament in 1969, with all subsequent competition considered as the "modern era" of snooker. [2] The Masters was introduced in 1975, and the UK Championship in 1977. [3] The UK Championship was only contested between British residents and passport holders until 1984, when it became open to all professional overseas players. [4] [5] The Triple Crown events are generally the most prestigious on the calendar, with the three winners in the 2021–22 snooker season earning more prize money than from any of the other events. [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Snooker</span> Cue sport

Snooker is a cue sport played on a rectangular billiards table covered with a green cloth called baize, with six pockets: one at each corner and one in the middle of each long side. First played by British Army officers stationed in India in the second half of the 19th century, the game is played with 22 balls, comprising a white cue ball, 15 red balls and 6 other balls—a yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black—collectively called 'the colours'. Using a snooker cue, the individual players or teams take turns to strike the cue ball to pot other balls in a predefined sequence, accumulating points for each successful pot and for each foul committed by the opposing player or team. An individual frame of snooker is won by the player who has scored the most points, and a snooker match ends when a player wins a predetermined number of frames.
