Ronnie O’Sullivan reveals which sport he will take up after retiring from snooker

By Jonathan Bray

Ronnie O’Sullivan has revealed which sport he wants to take up when he retires from snooker. The 50-year-old spoke ahead of the Masters, which will be live on TNT Sports and discovery+. O’Sullivan has had a mixed season so far, reaching the final of the Saudi Arabia Masters but being eliminated from the first round of the UK Championship.

Ronnie O’Sullivan has revealed that he would like to compete at the highest level of Heyball when his illustrious snooker career comes to an end.

The 50-year-old spoke after facing Zheng Yubo and Chu Bingjie at the ‘Battle of the Century’ in Hangzhou, China.

Heyball, which is sometimes referred to as Chinese 8-ball pool, is a cuesport that is played on a nine-foot table with rounded pockets and 57mm balls.

Zheng and Chu are two of the sport’s biggest stars, and O’Sullivan says he would like to play them again in the final of a major tournament one day.

“I enjoyed the pool more than the snooker; it’s a great game,” he said.

“I love playing snooker on this table with the pool balls, a new experience, and I’ve had a great time.

“I’ve never been that excited about a game.

“This is going to be the future for me once snooker’s finished.

“Obviously, using new equipment and bigger balls and the cue is a bit fatter.

“I just want to keep playing, keep improving, and hopefully one day I can play one of these guys in the final of a big tournament in China.”

O’Sullivan showed his class against his more experienced opponents, beating Chu 7-5 in his first match before battling back from 6-2 down to beat Zheng 7-6 in his second.

Zheng and Chu teamed up to face O’Sullivan at snooker after the Heyball concluded, and surprisingly, they came out on top in the best-of-nine frames clash.

The Chinese scotch doubles team battled to a hard-fought 5-2 win over the seven-time world snooker champion.

O’Sullivan will face Neil Robertson in the first round of the 2026 Masters in January, having been absent from the Scottish Open and Shoot Out in December.

…

So, for now at least, the signs are that Ronnie will play in the 2026 Masters.

As for the snooker, the 2025 Scottish Open is at the SF stage and will conclude tomorrow. I will cover the tournament as a whole on Monday…
