Kyren Wilson is the number one snooker player in the world. While he's not as prolific in recent times, he was able to accumulate four major ranking championships, including two Triple Crown matches. He was also able to save quite a bit of money.
Kyren Wilson started his career as an amateur. His parents were amazed at his talent when he was just six years old. But it was not until his first performance at Shanghai Masters 2015 that he became a professional player in snooker. After one year of playing in amateur competitions, he finally earned his spot at the top of the snooker league.
Although he has had a lot success in his short time, the real prize was not awarded until he got to the main stage. In his first qualifying round he defeated Marcus Campbell. Then he went on to defeat Stephen Maguire and Marco Fu the next two rounds. Michael Holt knocked him out in the quarterfinals, despite his excellent performance. But it was a performance he will most likely keep in his mind for a long, time.
The German Masters win in 2018 is Kyren’s biggest accomplishment. He won the title despite facing a spirited challenge from David Gilbert. He also won at the Paul Hunter Classic. He's now guaranteed a place in the top tier of snooker, having reached the finals of three of the major ranking events.
All of the top snooker players can produce great snooker, provided they have the right mindset. However, they all have their flaws. Some are harsh and others too good to be true. And, as is the case with most of the greats, the average Kyren Wilson isn't much of a showboat.
Although Kyren Wilson is an Englishman, his career has been full of twists. One thing is certain, he doesn't like to get upset easily. For example, he is a stickler for his routine in the weeks leading up to his big day. Sophie Lauren is his wife and mother of his two kids. He was on the international stage, and she has kept him on his toes.
Kyren Wilson has claimed many accolades and he's certainly won the hearts of his fans. He has also been able to make substantial cash savings, aside from his ranking title. He's not the richest player, but his net worth is about 2.5 million.
He was ranked fiveth in the world at the conclusion of the 2010/11 Season. He played all 12 PTC tournaments that season. He was 72nd on PTC Order of Merit.
