Which player holds the record for the most Masters snooker titles?

Ronnie O’Sullivan holds the record for the most Masters snooker titles, with eight victories.

The Masters is one of snooker’s three Triple Crown tournaments, alongside the World Championship and the UK Championship. Unlike those events, it is an invitational tournament traditionally featuring the leading players in the professional rankings.

O’Sullivan’s eight wins came across a long career, beginning with his first Masters title in 1995. His later victories extended the record beyond Stephen Hendry’s previous total of six. The event is known for producing high-quality matches because the field is small and heavily concentrated with elite players.

The Masters is not the same tournament as the World Championship, even though both are major professional events. O’Sullivan’s record therefore concerns titles at the London-based invitational competition, not his total Triple Crown victories.
