Kyren Wilson is the number one snooker player in the world. He has been able, despite not being as spectacular in recent years to earn four major ranking titles, two of which were Triple Crown events. He also managed to save a lot money.
Kyren Wilson began his career as an amateur. At just six years old, his talent was already surprising his parents. But, it wasn’t until he had his first significant performance at Shanghai Masters in 2015 that the professional snooker star was born. After playing in amateur competitions for a year, he was ready to take his place at the top table.
Although he's had plenty of success in his short career, the real prize was not won until he secured his place in the main stage of the ranking event. In his first qualifying round, Marcus Campbell defeated him. He then beat Stephen Maguire in the next two rounds. Despite his impressive performance, he was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Michael Holt. He will probably remember it for a long period of time.
The biggest achievement of Kyren's career has been his win at the German Masters in 2018. Despite being challenged by David Gilbert, he won the title. He also won the title at the Paul Hunter Classic. Having reached the finals of the previous three major ranking events, he's been able to secure his place in the top tier of snooker for the foreseeable future.
All of the top snooker players can produce great snooker, provided they have the right mindset. All of them have their faults. Some can be abrasive while others seem too good to true. Like most greats, Kyren Wilson isn’t much of an entertainer.
Kyren Wilson might be English, but his life has seen many twists and turns. One thing's for sure, he is not one to get rattled easily. For example, he likes to stick to his routine as much as possible, particularly in the lead up to his wedding. Sophie Lauren, his wife, is the mother to his two children. She was able to keep him entertained on the international stage.
Kyren Wilson has won many awards and is a beloved figure in the hearts of his fans. His ranking title aside, he has managed to save a substantial amount of cash. While he's certainly not the richest player in the world, his net worth is estimated to be around 2.5 million dollars.
At the close of the 2010/11 season he was ranked 5th in the world. He played all 12 PTC tournaments that season. He was 72nd on PTC Order of Merit.
