Ronnie O’Sullivan Considers Quitting Snooker for New Sport with Bigger Paychecks
Ronnie O’Sullivan, the world’s number one snooker player, has dropped a bombshell by revealing he’s considering quitting the sport to pursue a new one with more lucrative prize money.¹ This shocking announcement has sent shockwaves through the snooker community, leaving fans and pundits alike wondering what’s next for “The Rocket.”
O’Sullivan’s desire for bigger paychecks isn’t entirely unfounded. The prize money for snooker tournaments, while substantial, pales in comparison to other sports. For instance, the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters boasts a top prize of £500,000, which matches the winner’s reward at the World Championship.² However, this amount is dwarfed by the prize money offered in other sports.
The six-time World Champion has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the current state of snooker, citing concerns over the sport’s finances and governance. O’Sullivan’s frustration is understandable, given the significant time and effort he’s invested in the sport.
While O’Sullivan’s future in snooker remains uncertain, one thing is clear: he’s eager to explore new opportunities that can provide him with the financial rewards he feels he deserves. As the snooker world waits with bated breath to see what’s next for “The Rocket,” one thing is certain – Ronnie O’Sullivan will always be a force to be reckoned with, regardless of the sport he chooses to pursue.
