With Mark Williams winning the 2024 Tour Championship (10-5 O'Sullivan in the final), the snooker world ranking has also changed to a certain extent.
After winning £150,000 for his maiden Tour Championship title, Mark Williams moved up his world ranking from 8th to 6th, while Ronnie O'Sullivan, who finished second (£60,000), remained at No. 1 in the world.
V, who has won five ranking tournaments so far that season, is still ranked No. 2 in the world.
Mark Allen, who has won two ranking tournaments this season, is in third place.
With the 2023 World Championship title (£500,000 in prize money), Belgium's Luca Brecel is also ranked fourth in the world.
Selby, who finished runner-up at the "British Open" this season, is ranked 5th in the world.
Shaun Murphy, who had been struggling to win the Champions League at the start of the season, slipped from sixth to eighth before the Tour Championship.
"Chinese Dragon" Ding Junhui ranked 7th with the runner-up in the "British Championships" and "World Open" that season.
"Captain" Ali Carter has also been on top of the charts this season, finishing runner-up at the inaugural Wuhan Open that season and reaching the semi-finals of The Players Championship, finishing ninth.
Gary Wilson, who reached the semi-finals of the tournament and has already won two ranking events that season, is at the best of his career at No. 10 (Gary Wilson defended the 2023 Scottish Open title and then the 2024 Welsh Open this season).
In that season, Ezhang Anda, who won the 2023 National Championship and finished runner-up in the English Open and Players Championship, "soared" to 11th.
Kyren Wilson, who is in the midst of his worst slump in two seasons, has finished 12th in the semi-finals of the German Masters so far.
The legendary Higgins, who has reached four ranking semi-finals this season (European Masters, English Open, Scottish Open, Welsh Open), has slipped to 13th place.
Higgins' last ranking title was back in The Players Championship 2021, and after the 2024 World Championships, Higgins will also be deducted from his fixed prize money for the previous two seasons.
As a result, Higgins, who has been in the top 16 at the end of 29 seasons, will face a "precarious" drop in the rankings unless he can make a difference at this year's World Championships.
England veteran Tom Forde, who has been active and decisive this season, is ranked 14th, finishing runners-up at the National Championships and reaching the last eight of his other three ranking tournaments.
Veteran Barry Hawkins, who is ranked 15th, also showed a rebound in form that season, winning the European Masters and reaching the semi-finals of the Northern Ireland Open.
Veteran Milkins is 16th and will secure a seeding spot at the 2024 World Championships.
Neil Robertson "Aussie Thunder" Robertson has been deducted from his 2022 Tour Championship prize (the world rankings are rolling over the two-season cycle).
As a result, he dropped out of the top 16 after the current Tour Championship, which means that Neil Robertson will participate in the World Championship qualification tournament for the first time in 17 years.
