Ronnie O’Sullivan will compete in the World Seniors Snooker Championship at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre this May, shortly after the main World Championship concludes. Recent rule adjustments now allow players aged 45 and above within the top 64 rankings to enter, making the 50-year-old eligible. Currently ranked 11th, O’Sullivan joins a strong field featuring Jimmy White, Ken Doherty, Stuart Bingham, Reanne Evans and Joe Perry, adding further prestige to this year’s tournament.
