'''Ronald Antonio O'Sullivan''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|OBE}} (born 5 December 1975) is an English professional [[snooker]] player, who is the current world number one. Widely recognised as one of the most talented and accomplished players in the history of the sport, he holds the record for the most [[List of snooker players by number of ranking titles|ranking titles]] in professional snooker, with 39. As a seven-time [[World Snooker Championship|world champion]], a seven-time [[Masters (snooker)|Masters champion]] and a seven-time [[UK Championship|UK champion]], he has won a record 21 [[Triple Crown (snooker)|Triple Crown]] titles. He has been ranked [[List of world number one snooker players|world number one]] on multiple occasions.

After an impressive junior career, O'Sullivan turned professional in 1992, aged 16. He won his first ranking title at the [[1993 UK Championship]] aged 17 years and 358 days, making him the youngest player to win a professional ranking event, a record he still holds. He is also the youngest player to win the Masters, which he first achieved in [[1995 Masters (snooker)|1995]], aged 19 years and 69 days. Now noted for his longevity in the sport, he has made a record 30 consecutive World Championship appearances from 1993 to 2022. In [[2020 World Snooker Championship|2020]], he became the second-oldest player, after [[Ray Reardon]] in [[1978 World Snooker Championship|1978]], to win a world title in snooker's modern era.

One of the sport's most prolific break-builders, O'Sullivan made his first competitive [[century break]] at age 10 and his first competitive [[maximum break]] at age 15. In 2015, he surpassed [[Stephen Hendry]]'s then-record 775 century breaks in professional competition. In 2019, he became the first and only player to attain 1,000 career century breaks, and has since extended his record to over 1,100 centuries. He has also achieved the highest number of officially recognised maximum breaks in professional competition, with 15, and holds the [[Guinness World Records|Guinness World Record]] for the fastest competitive maximum break, compiled in a time of 5 minutes and 8 seconds at the [[1997 World Snooker Championship|1997 World Championship]].

O'Sullivan has struggled during his career with depression, mood swings and drug and alcohol abuse. Known as a volatile personality, he received a suspended two-year ban and a £20,000 fine in 1996 for assaulting an assistant press officer and a £20,800 fine in 2006 for walking out of a UK Championship quarter-final against Hendry. He has been disciplined multiple times by [[World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association|snooker's governing body]] for his behaviour and statements. In turn, he has accused the sport's authorities of bullying and intimidating him, has levelled numerous criticisms against the professional tour and has repeatedly threatened to retire. Outside his playing career, O'Sullivan works as a pundit and presenter for [[Eurosport]]'s snooker coverage. He has written crime novels, autobiographies and a health and fitness book, and has starred in the miniseries ''Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle''. He was awarded an [[Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire|OBE]] in [[2016 New Year Honours|2016]].

== Criticisms of the sport ==
After [[Barry Hearn]] took charge of World Snooker in 2010, O'Sullivan became a vocal critic of how Hearn reconfigured the professional tour. He took issue with increased travel expectations, flat 128 draws that required top professionals to play more rounds against lower ranked opponents, reduced prize money for 147 breaks, and tournament venues he saw as inadequate. He accused snooker's governing body of bullying and intimidating him, claimed that Hearn was running a "dictatorship,"<ref>{{cite news|title=Ronnie O'Sullivan: Barry Hearn rejects five-time world champion's 'dictator' claim|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/46198716|access-date=13 November 2018}}</ref> protested alleged mistreatment by snooker's authorities by giving robotic or monosyllabic responses in interviews,<ref>{{Cite news|date=8 February 2017|title='Ronnie the robot': O'Sullivan's protest interview|language=en-GB|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/snooker/38912928|access-date=1 September 2020}}</ref> and refused opportunities to make maximum breaks in apparent protest over inadequate prize money for the achievement.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Wednesday|last2=April 26|last3=Pm|first3=2017-17:14|date=26 April 2017|title=Ronnie O'Sullivan appears to turn down maximum break for 146|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/arid-30787256.html|access-date=1 September 2020|website=Irish Examiner|language=en}}</ref> In 2018, he threatened to form a breakaway snooker tour akin to the [[split in darts]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=O'Sullivan 'ready' with breakaway tour|language=en-GB|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/46419267|access-date=1 September 2020}}</ref>

During the 2020 World Championship, O'Sullivan publicly criticised the standard of new players coming into snooker, stating that he would have to "lose an arm and a leg to fall out of the top 50".<ref>{{cite web|title=World Snooker Championship: Ronnie O'Sullivan says he'd have to 'lose an arm and a leg to fall out of the top 50'|url=https://www.sportinglife.com/snooker/news/osullivan-slams-standard-of-emerging-players/183045|access-date=10 August 2020|work=Sporting Life|location=UK}}</ref> He was also critical of the tournament organisers' decision to allow fans into the World Championship final during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Ronnie O'Sullivan criticises 'irresponsible' decision to allow fans into Crucible for World Championship final|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/snooker/ronnie-osullivan-world-championship-final-kyren-wilson-mark-selby-a9671971.html|access-date=15 August 2020|work=The Independent|date=15 August 2020}}</ref>

In 2021, O'Sullivan claimed on a podcast interview that most snooker players had wasted their lives. He called snooker a "bad sport" that can cause "a lot of damage," suggesting that the antisocial nature of solitary practice in a darkened environment can stunt players' personal development. He stated that he would not support his own children if they chose to become snooker players, and said that if he could live his sporting career over again, he would pursue golf or [[Formula One]] instead.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Haigh|first=Phil|date=27 June 2021|title=Ronnie O'Sullivan: Snooker is 'a waste of a life' for most players|url=https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/27/ronnie-osullivan-snooker-is-a-waste-of-a-life-for-most-players-14836006/|access-date=5 July 2021|website=Metro|language=en}}</ref>

==Maximum and century breaks==
{{main|Maximum and century breaks made by Ronnie O'Sullivan}}
Ronnie O'Sullivan has completed 15 [[maximum break]]s from his first in the [[1997 World Snooker Championship]] against [[Mick Price (snooker player)|Mick Price]]<ref name="O'Sullivan 1997 WC Championship max">{{cite web|title=Archive: Rocket's fastest 147|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/snooker/26768654|publisher=BBC|date=21 April 2014|access-date=16 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170118091017/http://www.bbc.com/sport/snooker/26768654|archive-date=18 January 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> to his [[2018 English Open]] maximum against [[Allan Taylor (snooker player)|Allan Taylor]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Rocket Fire Magic Maximum|date=17 October 2018|url=http://www.worldsnooker.com/rocket-fires-magic-maximum/|access-date=17 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181017203306/http://www.worldsnooker.com/rocket-fires-magic-maximum/|archive-date=17 October 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

Achieved in 5 minutes and 8 seconds, O'Sullivan's maximum in 1997 also holds the record for the fastest maximum in competitive play. Initially ''[[Guinness World Records]]'' recorded the time at 5 minutes and 20 seconds,<ref>{{cite web |title=Fastest 147 break in snooker |publisher=[[Guinness World Records]] |url=http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-147-break-in-snooker/ |access-date=25 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180621100656/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-147-break-in-snooker/ |archive-date=21 June 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> but recent evidence suggests that the BBC started the timer too early on the break.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ronnie O'Sullivan's fastest maximum in history was faster than official time |date=28 April 2017 |publisher=[[Eurosport]] |url=https://www.eurosport.co.uk/snooker/world-championship/2016-2017/ronnie-osullivans-fastest-maximum-in-history-was-faster-than-official-time_sto6146498/story.shtml |access-date=25 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180311021132/https://www.eurosport.co.uk/snooker/world-championship/2016-2017/ronnie-osullivans-fastest-maximum-in-history-was-faster-than-official-time_sto6146498/story.shtml |archive-date=11 March 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> Depending on the timing methodology used, the break took between 5 minutes 8 seconds and 5 minutes 15 seconds,<ref name="Deadspin">{{cite news |first=Ben |last=Tippett |title=The Greatest Break in Snooker History Was Even Better Than Anyone Realized |date=27 April 2017 |publisher=[[Deadspin]] |url=https://deadspin.com/the-greatest-break-in-snooker-history-was-even-better-t-1794695566 |access-date=25 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180426075929/https://deadspin.com/the-greatest-break-in-snooker-history-was-even-better-t-1794695566 |archive-date=26 April 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> with both [[World Snooker]] and ''Guinness World Records'' now officially acknowledging the shorter time.<ref name="WorldSnooker Bio of O'Sullivan" />

O'Sullivan also holds the record for the total number of [[century break]]s, compiling more than 1,100 century breaks in professional competition. He scored his 1,100th century in his quarter-final match against [[John Higgins]] at the Cazoo Tour Championship of 2021.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/47517416|title=Ronnie O'Sullivan reaches 1,000 career centuries and wins Players Championship|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=10 March 2019|access-date=10 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190310221537/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/47517416|archive-date=10 March 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
