The 47-year-old is currently ranked world No 1 and cashes in on his stardom at exhibition matches across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Sullivan has previously spoken about falling out of love with snooker and took a year out of competition in 2012. Rumours of his retirement have been rife for years and O\u2019Sullivan said that once he stops playing he won\u2019t return.<\/p>\n<p>He told the Times: \u201cIf I haven\u2019t got a tournament, I never pick up a cue, so I know that I\u2019ll never, ever go near a table again. It wouldn\u2019t interest me.\u201d The obsessive personality of O\u2019Sullivan means the star could be about to turn his hand to racing car simulators after testing one out with a former F1 driver.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/Ronnie-O-Sullivan-5072322.jpg?r=1700261918379\"><\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI\u2019ve just ordered one, so I\u2019d get the table taken out and get three or four simulators put in there.\u201d O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s love for playing snooker in China was clear when the star beat world champion Luca Brecel in September\u2019s Shanghai Masters.<\/p>\n<p>Despite winning the title for a fourth consecutive time O\u2019Sullivan said that he was giving his trophy away stating that they had little emotional value to him.<\/p>\n<p>He told the BBC: \u201cI&#8217;ll be giving the trophy to my friend who is opening up a club here. It will be staying in China. I always give them away. I&#8217;m not really bothered about trophies. I&#8217;ve sold quite a few of them &#8211; I don&#8217;t want any memorabilia left by the time I&#8217;m 70 or 80.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Stephen Hendry angers ITV presenter as snooker icon fails to do his homework[REACTION] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Ronnie O&#8217;Sullivan &#8216;told not to speak anymore&#8217; as Rocket faces WST punishment[ANALYSIS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Ronnie O&#8217;Sullivan slammed for &#8216;cheap shot&#8217; as Murphy explains pair aren&#8217;t pals[QUOTE] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/Ronnie-O-Sullivan-5072335.jpg?r=1700261918444\"><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/othersport\/1836312\/Ronnie-O-Sullivan-luxury-lifestyle-China-F1-race-simulator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronnie O&#8217;Sullivan explains why he made a 146 in 2016 Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan has led a very different life to many<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294448,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
