In an extraordinary accomplishment, Mark Selby now shares an elite circle with Ronnie O'Sullivan following his recent victory.
In the world of snooker, Neil Robertson has made a significant leap in the ranks of the game's most prolific century break makers. With a current total of 1,300 career centuries, Robertson now stands alongside the game's greats, just behind or matching the all-time leader, Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Ronnie O'Sullivan, who holds the record for most century breaks with over 1,300, remains the undisputed leader in this category. However, Robertson's impressive tally places him among the elite, making him one of the few players to have achieved this milestone.
Mark Selby, another snooker legend, is also among the elite, but with noticeably fewer centuries than Robertson and O'Sullivan. Selby, who reached his 900th career century in August 2025, is currently ranked fourth in the all-time list.
Judd Trump, who has broken seasonal century-break records with 107 centuries in the 2024–25 season, is likely approaching or exceeding 1,200 career centuries, placing him close to the top tier. John Higgins, another top century maker historically, is not specifically cited with a current total, but his numbers are historically high.
This places Robertson clearly among the very best century break makers in the history of snooker.
The rise of Robertson in the century breaks leaderboard was evident in his recent victory over Mark Selby in the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters. For the second year in a row, Robertson defeated Selby in this tournament, this time in a 6-4 match. This victory allowed Robertson to pull level in the match.
Selby, who has won 24 ranking titles since turning professional in 1999, has had a successful career in snooker. He recently won the Welsh Open in February 2025, defeating Scotland's Stephen Maguire in the final. However, his defeat in the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters marked a setback in his quest to join the group of players with 1,000 career centuries.
Neil Robertson, on the other hand, could potentially surpass Selby in this quest. With his current total of 1,300 career centuries, Robertson is just 100 centuries away from joining the group of players with 1,000 career centuries.
