Triple Crown

The Triple Crown is a collective term used for the three most prestigious snooker tournaments: the World Championship, the UK Championship and The Masters. These tournaments are sometimes also called snooker's major tournaments, or simply as the big three. There are six players who have won all Triple Crown events at least once: Steve Davis, Alex Higgins, Stephen Hendry, John Higgins, Mark Williams and Ronnie O'Sullivan. Davis, Hendry, O'Sullivan and Williams have won all three Triple Crown events in a single season, and Hendry is the only player to achieve this feat twice, in the 1989/1990 and 1995/1996 seasons.
