The 2024 World Snooker Championship takes place in Sheffield between April 20 and May 6. Ronnie O'Sullivan won the World Championship in 2022 to equal Stephen Hendry's record of seven Crucible crowns but was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Stuart Bingham. The Rocket had appeared on a collision course with Judd Trump, only for Trump to be beaten 13-9 by Welsh qualifier Jack Jones.
