The annual Masters is professional snooker competition, not to be confused with the Masters Golf Tournament! Winner of 2018 Masters will get the honour of being the best snooker player in the world for one whole year. Ronnie O’Sullivan, 7-time Masters Winner, certainly won’t make it easy for those 15 competitors who want to challenge his current title.

Organized by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, 2018 Masters will be held at Alexandra Palace in London according to the latest UK gambling news.

Best Snook Lord in the 21st Century

Ronnie O’Sullivan dominates modern day’s snooker scene. Look no further than the fact that he has won the most World Championship titles, a total of 5 times, in the 21st Century. Nobody has managed to beat his record. Perhaps, the best determinant of Ronnie’s talent is the fact that he often cues with his left hand even though he is right-handed. It gives him an advantage over others, allowing him to take a wide range of shots.
