Triple crown (snooker)

Triple Crown is the unofficial name for the winners of the three most prestigious snooker tournaments: World Championship , UK Championship and Masters . ^[1] ^[2]

Masters Cup

UK Champion Cup

World Cup

In the history of snooker, only eleven players were able to win the triple crown: Steve Davis , Terry Griffiths , Alex Higgins , Stephen Hendry , John Higgins , Mark Williams , Ronnie O'Sullivan , Neil Robertson , Mark Selby , Sean Murphy and Judd Trump . And only Davis, Hendry and Williams managed to win the triple crown in one season, which is considered the most significant.
