List of snooker players by number of ranking titles


This is a list of professional snooker players ordered by the number of "ranking titles" they have won. A ranking title is a tournament which counts towards the snooker world rankings. World rankings were introduced in 1976/77, initially based on the results from the previous three World Championships. The first ranking event was thus the 1974 World Championship, won by Ray Reardon.

In 1992/93 and from the 2010/11 to the 2015/16 season there were a number of tournaments which contribute to the world rankings but at a lower rate than standard ranking tournaments. Wins in these tournaments are referred to as "minor-ranking titles". All the minor-ranking tournaments from 2010 to 2016 were part of the Players Tour Championship.

Stephen Hendry holds the record for the most ranking titles with 36.


As of the end of the 2015/16 season there had been a total of 285 ranking events and a further 69 minor-ranking events. There are 19 ranking events planned for 2016/17.
