Ronnie O'Sullivan and Stephen Hendry: Who has the most World Snooker Championship titles, what is the record?

The greatest snooker tournament of the year — the World Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield — defines careers and legacies, and it is largely responsible for how each era of the sport is judged as each winner goes down in the history books. Despite the fact that many of the sport's biggest names have endured seasons to forget thus far, the World Championship can entirely make up for that with glory at the Crucible marking a campaign as hugely successful in any player's career.

For Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump and others, a winning run in Sheffield would surely erase any lingering frustrations from previous tournaments. Ad While for some players, such as O'Sullivan, Trump, Mark Selby, John Higgins, Shaun Murphy, Neil Robertson and Mark Williams, each edition of the World Championship affords a huge opportunity to add their tallies, for others it is simply about being on top of the world for one glorious moment.
