Does O'Sullivan hold every snooker record?

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.

One record that has proved to be elusive for O'Sullivan is the longest consecutive time spent as world number one.

Hendry holds that acclaim having spent 418 weeks at the top of the rankings under the old ranking system between April 1990 and May 1998. O'Sullivan's best period was a 109-week spell.

Under the current rolling ranking system, which has been in operation since 2010, both Selby and Trump have spent longer as world number one.

No player has more maximum 147 breaks than O'Sullivan's 17, with his last coming at the Saudi Arabia Masters in August 2025. He would have had even more had he not turned down the chance of a maximum at the Welsh Open in 2016 because the £10,000 prize money was "too cheap".

O'Sullivan also holds the record for the fastest maximum after taking just five minutes and 20 seconds to rattle in a 147 at the Crucible in 1997.

Mark Davis, Jackson Page and O'Sullivan are the only players to make two maximums at the same professional event, with the Rocket being the only one to hit both of his in the same session.

When it comes to centuries, no player comes close to O'Sullivan, who has a whopping 1,320. Trump is second on the all-time list with 1,139.

The fastest televised century belongs to Malta's Tony Drago at three minutes and 31 seconds. O'Sullivan came close at the 2022 Scottish Open, recording a three-minute 34-second century.

All those successes add up, with O'Sullivan holding the all-time record for prize money by earning an estimated £15m (£4m more than next-nearest rival Higgins) in a glittering 33-year career.
