This is a list of professional snooker players ordered by the number of "ranking titles" they have won.
This meant that the 1974 World Championship retrospectively became the first ranking event, won by Ray Reardon.
In the 1982–83 season, two more ranking events were added to the snooker calendar: the International Open and the Professional Players Tournament.
There were a total of 69 minor-ranking tournaments; four in the 1992–93 season with the remainder played from 2010 to 2016 as part of the Players Tour Championship.
A number of players won a minor-ranking event – but have never won a "full" ranking event: Marcus Campbell, Tony Drago, Andrew Higginson, Ju Reti, Rod Lawler, Rory McLeod, Barry Pinches, Troy Shaw, Joe Swail and Ben Woollaston.
