# Campeonato Mundial de Snooker

El Campeonato Mundial de Snooker es un torneo profesional de snooker, el más importante en términos de puntos en el ranking y de premios. El primer campeonato fue celebrado en 1927 y desde 1977 se ha celebrado en el Crucible Theatre, en Sheffield, Inglaterra. En la era moderna (desde 1969), el récord de victorias lo comparten Stephen Hendry y Ronnie O'Sullivan, que han ganado el título en siete ocasiones cada uno, mientras que Steve Davis y Ray Reardon lo han ganado seis veces.
El belga Luca Brecel consiguió ganar en la edición de 2023 su primer título al imponerse al cuádruple campeón mundial Mark Selby en la final por 18-15, convirtiéndose en el primer jugador de Europa continental en lograr la victoria.
