O'Sullivan Pro Championship & Runner-up Overview【New Edition】

Pull a watch and see all the professional championships and runners-up that Ronnie O'Sullivan has won in his career.

The relevant data is mainly transferred and compiled from the statistics of the English wiki encyclopedia and the cuetracker website, and the two have differences in statistics, and the difference is in the non-ranking competition. This discrepancy stems from the lack of a uniform definition of professional racing, which can also be found in my statement in the preface to the blog post "Snooker World Records and Commentary 1 – Age (http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4a4a45bc0102zg4r.html)".

3. Disputed Parts

In the invitational section, the wiki data shows that there are 3 more O'Sullivan champions than Cuetracker.

(1) 2007 Kilkenny Irish Masters

This event, in the wiki event profile, is described as a professional tournament; cuetracker is labeled as a professional-amateur mixed tournament and therefore does not include O'Sullivan's professional championship statistics.

In this tournament, the 16 participants were all active professional players at the time, and included a number of top players. It is obviously inappropriate to classify such an event as a mixed professional-amateur event. But there is also nonsense in this event, O'Sullivan hit 147, but did not get the 20,000 euros promised by the organizers before the match; more importantly, this 147, the world snooker WWPBSA is not included in the official statistics, which means that this event is not the WPBSA supervisor or approved event. Cuetracker sees it as a mixed pro-am, and may be based on that. So this involves, before the repeated confusion of the definition of professional competition criteria.

Individuals still tend to include it in the O'Sullivan Professional Championship statistics, so it is included in the overall table.

(2) Scottish Masters Challenge 6-5 John Higgins, 1993/94

The wiki included O'Sullivan's professional championship statistics, but there was no information (the hyperlink to the event was wrong), based on a report in the British newspaper The Guardian on 22 September 1993. Cuetracker, no such event.

Personal opinion, not incorporated.

(3) Hamm Invitational Trophy 2008 (6-2 Barry Hawkins, 2008/09)

As in the previous paragraph, wikis are included in statistics, but no data; cuetracker, no such event. The former famous "Pro Snooker Blog" website once quoted journalist Monique as reporting on the event, and the blogger (now the director of the article on the official website of WWPBSA) called it an exhibition match (https://www.prosnookerblog.com/2008/11/30/day-two-from-hamm/#more-3582).

4. Notes

[1] The Europa League and the Premier League are the same heritage tournament. O'Sullivan's 10 Super League titles are the record for multiple titles in a single professional snooker tournament in the modern era.

[2] At the 1998 Irish Masters, O'Sullivan was disqualified for failing a drug test. Therefore, statistics are not included.
