Ronnie O'Sullivan vows to RETIRE if snooker makes bizarre rule change - as icon slams officials for 'jazzing up' the sport

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 30, 2024
Ronnie O'Sullivan has claimed he will call time on a glittering snooker career spanning four decades if the sport introduces a head-scratching darts-style rule change. The 48-year-old is arguably the greatest to ever grace the baize, winning a record seven World Championships - a tally he shares with Stephen Hendry. The Englishman's longevity has also been remarkable, with The Rocket's first ranking trophy coming in 1993 aged just 17 and his latest being a win in the World Grand Prix this January. He was the number one player in the world as recently as May. O'Sullivan is as infamous for his outspoken nature as he is for his explosive playing style and has previously branded snooker a 'bad sport' and compared businessman Barry Hearn's running of the game to a 'dictatorship'.

US goes lukewarm for darts biggest star: Luke Littler, 17, fails sell out Madison Square Garden

The 17-year-old was hoping to sell out tonight's Madison Square Gardens showpiece which has a 5,600 capacity as he plays the US Darts Masters, but it appears American fans have turned lukewarm on the star. Earlier in the week the players stood outside the venue and threw darts for some promo shots but most people seemingly had no idea who they were. 'I've been noticed (here), but only by UK people,' Littler admitted. More than 4,000 tickets have been made available on both Friday and Saturday as the first round got underway this afternoon with eight of the world's best battling eight North American challengers.

Michael van Gerwen reveals he would BACK decision to move the World Darts Championship from Ally Pally to Saudi Arabia

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: With a recent boom in sporting events in the Gulf State, former PDC president Barry Hearn previously suggested that darts should make their way to the Middle East. As LIV Golf, the Spanish Super Cup, and boxing matches find success in the kingdom, the darts community has split over following suit and staying in Ally Pally. Speaking to DailyMail.com on Thursday, Mighty Mike revealed that taking the sport to Saudi Arabia may prove beneficial. '[It] will be great, I think,' he said. 'They wanna make sports big in that country. You saw the big boxing games there, the football there. For me, I don't mind where I play. I will be competing, and that's how it is.'
