Snooker is a cue sport first played by British Army officers stationed in India in the late 19th century. The game is contested on a large table with 21 coloured balls and a white cue ball, and requires both precision and strategy. The World Snooker Championship, held annually in Sheffield, is the sport’s most prestigious event. Legendary players include Stephen Hendry, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Steve Davis, who helped popularise the game globally.
