The Class of '92 is a group of three professional snooker players: Ronnie O'Sullivan from England, John Higgins from Scotland, and Mark Williams from Wales. All three were born in 1975, Williams on 21 March,[1] Higgins on 18 May,[2] and O'Sullivan on 5 December.[3] They all turned professional during the 1992–93 snooker season and have become known for their collective dominance of the sport—which includes a combined 98 ranking titles, 39 Triple Crown titles, and 14 world titles—as well as their longevity as top‑ranked players.[4][5] O'Sullivan has compared the Class of '92 to the Big Three of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal in men's singles tennis.[6]
