The latest news on May 4, 2022, Beijing time, after the end of the World Snooker Championship, the World Taiwan Federation has officially updated the world rankings. Newly won the World Championship, O'Sullivan is the world's number one player with a two-time record of winning the championship in the season with a prize money of 1,036,000 pounds, while Trump, who has won the Turkish Masters, the crown and the runner-up of the World Championship, is the second-best player in the world to surpass Selby with a prize money of 1009,500 pounds. Robertson, the best player of the season, is only fourth, and Chinese teenager Zhao Xintong is sixth with a reward of £434,500.
O'Sullivan and Trumpby are in the top three
In this season, O'Sullivan and Trump have performed very well. O'Sullivan is the 2021/22 World Grand Prix Champion, World Champion and European Masters Runner-up. He beat Trump in the World Championship final and Robertson in the World Grand Prix final, and these two opponents are exactly the two players who have performed best this season. Beating these two players to put himself at the top of the world also shows that O'Sullivan is well deserved to be at the top of the table. Currently, O'Sullivan is number one with a prize money of £1,036,000. Although Trump lost the World Championship final, he is equally commendable for winning two titles and two asian games in poor form, and he is currently second with £10,09,500. Selby has a dismal record this season, but he is still third with a prize money of £914,500.
Robertson ranked fourth and Zhao Xintong soared to sixth place
While Robertson has become the most outstanding player of the season with the titles of English Open Champion, Masters Champion, Players Championship Champion, Tour Championship Champion and World Grand Prix Runner-up, he can only currently be ranked fourth with a prize money of £902,000 as the Masters champion is an invitational tournament and does not count towards the rankings. The Wizard Higgins, who has become the king of runners-up this season, is fifth in the world with a prize money of £537,000. Chinese teenager Zhao Xintong has performed well this season, successfully beating his world ranking into the top eight with the titles of British Championship champion and German Masters champion. Currently, he ranks sixth in the world with a prize money of £434,500. Mark Williams, who won the British Open title and the world championship final four this season, is currently in seventh place with a prize money of 423,500 pounds, while Wilson, known as the first person after 90, is in eighth place in the world with a prize money of 419,000 pounds.
Murphy ranks ninth Yan Bingtao to maintain the world's top sixteen
Although Murphy's performances this season have been very low, he can still be ranked ninth with a prize money of £316,000 due to his runner-up at the World Championships in the past season. Lisowski, who has performed well this season, is in tenth place with a prize money of 315,500 pounds. Hawkins, who has finished runners-up twice this season, is in eleventh place with a prize money of £309,000, while Brechel, who has won the Scottish Open and runner-up at the British Championship, is in twelfth place with a prize money of £297,000. Former world champion Bingham is currently in thirteenth place with a prize pool of £296,000 and Mark Allen is fourteenth with a prize money of £286,500. Yan Bingtao finished fifteenth with a record of 253,000 pounds in prize money and McGill was 16th with a prize money of 202,500 pounds.
