Does O'Sullivan hold every snooker record?
BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team look at the collective records of Ronnie O'Sullivan following his record-breaking 153 break at the World Open in China.
[BBC] Ronnie O'Sullivan added another record to his vast collection by making the highest professional break in snooker with an incredible 153 at the World Open. The 50-year-old bettered the previous record - a 148 set by Scotland's Jamie Burnett at the UK Championship qualifiers in 2004 - in his 5-0 victory over Ryan Day in Yushan, China. But does the Rocket really hold every record in the sport?
The answer is no, not yet anyway. O'Sullivan has seven world championship titles to his name but does not hold the outright record as Stephen Hendry also has seven. However, the Chigwell cueman is the oldest Crucible champion after he beat Judd Trump in the 2022 final in Sheffield, aged 46 years and 148 days.
He also holds the record for the most consecutive Crucible appearances with 33, having taken part in every tournament between 1993 and 2025. O'Sullivan has also won the most UK Championship titles with eight and a record eight Masters crowns. That all adds up to O'Sullivan holding the record for the most Triple Crown titles (the collection of the three most prestigious tournaments in snooker) with 23.
O'Sullivan remains unmatched when it comes to ranking titles having won 41 - an impressive five more than Scotland's Hendry. While the Englishman has won a record five Shanghai Masters titles, John Higgins has the most World Open titles with five. Rivals Ding Junhui, Mark Selby and Judd Trump also share the record for the most International Championship crowns.
