Mark Williams' career result quietly away from Ronnie O'Sullivans in Snooker's list of assets

Mark Williams may have only a few record titles of the fourth world snooker championship, but the Welsher was still cool £ 200,000 for his efforts

Mark Williams may have collapsed cool £ 200,000 after his impressive run to the World Snooker Championship final, but he still has a way to reach the list of prize money of all time.

Although the Welsh tin machine was the oldest player in the final in the crucible with 18-12 against Zhao Xintong, it was widely praised for his performance in Sheffield.

His quarter -final game was celebrated as a classic of all time, in which he triumphed John Higgins in a nail -raising decida carrier.

Williams then shocked the world No. 1, Judd Trump, in the semi -finals, and even in his defeat against Zhao, he managed to win four consecutive frames before the Chinese star won.

Although he did not take home the main prize of £ 500,000, he increases his career gain to over 8.5 million pounds. This places the three -time champion on the overall list on the overall list, but still significantly behind the leader, Ronnie O'Sullivan.

O'Sullivan, known as The Rocket, made it to the semi -finals in the crucible before it was also defeated by Zhao. After he had already accrued astonishing 14.72 million GBP, he entered the tournament and is scheduled to surpass 15 million GBP this year if he maintains a regular schedule, reports the express.

The four -time world champion John Higgins is in second place on the list with 10.52 million GBP. Trump, who set a new record for most prize money in a single season during the 2024/25 campaign, is third with 9.27 million GBP.

Although Snooker legend Stephen Hendry with seven world championship titles in O'Sullivan's record of seven world titles, he finished fourth with a win of 8.8 million GBP.

The Scottish star's victories came at a time when sport was not so financially worthwhile, which seems to have influenced his position in the ranking list.

Mark Selby is positioned with 8.55 million GBP just over Hendry, but only slightly in front of the great snooker. Williams, known for his carefree approach to prize money, joked last year that he would not be able to maintain any of the 200,000 pounds from the Saudi Arabia masters.

He humorously noticed that half would go to his wife Joanne and the other half: “100,000 pounds go to them and £ 100,000 go to the helmsman.”
