Snooker calendar 2024: Full schedule as Ronnie O’Sullivan aims for World Championship glory in May
EXCITEMENT is building as the snooker calendar races towards the 2024 Snooker World Championship.
But before the sport’s showpiece, there are plenty of other snooker tournaments for fans to get stuck into.
The best players the sport has to offer will compete in the prestigious competition, loved by supporters around the world, in April and May.
The snooker community has already been treated to an incredible display of talent the season.
Players have impressed and amazed fans with their performances in everything from thrilling frame deciders to nail biting exhibitions.
Ronnie O’Sullivan, Mark Selby and Judd Trump have repeatedly impressed with their cue skills, solidifying themselves as favourites for the tournament.
The bookies have The Rocket, who recently won his record breaking eighth UK championship, as a slim favourite for the competition with current German Masters champion Judd Trump narrowly behind him.
For O’Sullivan, the World Championship highlights an opportunity for his name to be further etched into the annals of snooker and a potential history maker.
Should he win at The Crucible, O’Sullivan would become an eight-time world champion, pulling one ahead of Stephen Hendry as the all-time leader in the modern era.
