Kyren James Wilson[3] (/ˈkaɪrən/;[4] born 23 December 1991)[5] is an English professional snooker player from Kettering. He has won seven ranking titles and is the reigning world champion.
Wilson made his professional tour debut in the 2010–11 season after finishing fifth in the 2009–10 International Open Series rankings. He dropped off the tour after one season but regained his tour card for the 2013–14 season and has played professionally since. In September 2015, while ranked 54th in the world, he won his first ranking title by defeating Judd Trump 10–9 in the final of the Shanghai Masters. His other ranking titles include the 2019 German Masters, where he defeated David Gilbert 9–7 in the final; the 2022 European Masters, where he defeated Barry Hawkins 9–3 in the final; and the inaugural 2024 Xi'an Grand Prix, where he defeated Trump 10–8 in the final.
Wilson lost his first two Triple Crown finals—Mark Allen defeated him 10–7 in the 2018 Masters final and Ronnie O'Sullivan defeated him 18–8 in the 2020 World Snooker Championship final—but he won his first world title and first Triple Crown title at the 2024 World Snooker Championship, beating Jak Jones 18–14 in the final. Becoming world champion helped him attain his career highest ranking of third. He has compiled more than 450 century breaks in professional competition, including five maximum breaks.
