Mark Williams is a United Kingdom snooker player whose career combines major titles and centuries with a current top-ten ranking.
Williams explained
Mark Williams has been part of United Kingdom snooker’s global identity since he turned professional in 1992. His career-high ranking of number one, held in separate spells, and a Member of the Order of the British Empire award in 2004 show the scale of his recognition. Induction into the Snooker Hall of Fame in 2012 places him among the sport’s honoured names internationally.
His 27 titles and 700 centuries are the headline numbers; a ranking of 9 in the current list shows he is still active at the top level. That mix of long-term success and present-day competitiveness explains why opponents find him difficult to face at any tournament. For a fan wanting the essentials, the profile is clear: a veteran whose scoring and title count keep him relevant in the current game.

He is still competing rather than retired, with the 2025/26 season forming part of a career that has run to the present day.
His world championship count is not something I can confirm, though his career record includes 27 titles and a highest ranking of 1. He was appointed an MBE in 2004 and entered the Snooker Hall of Fame in 2012.
