Stephen Hendry was the defending champion, having defeated Jimmy White 18–5 in the 1993 final. The two players reached the final again in 1994, and Hendry won 18–17 for his fourth world title.
Nine rounds of qualifying for the championship were held. The qualifying competition produced 16 players for the main stage, where they met the 16 invited seeded players. The tournament was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC2, and was sponsored by the Embassy cigarette brand. Hendry received £180,000 from a total prize fund of £1,068,000. The highest break of the main stage was 143, made by Alan McManus in the first round.
Background

The inaugural 1927 World Snooker Championship, then known as the Professional Championship of Snooker, took place at various venues in England between November 1926 and May 1927. Joe Davis won the final—held at Camkin's Hall in Birmingham from 9 to 12 May 1927—and went on to win the tournament 15 consecutive times before retiring undefeated after the 1946 edition (no tournaments were held from 1941 to 1945 because of World War II).[1][2][3] The tournament went into abeyance after only two players contested the 1952 edition. The six editions of the World Professional Match-play Championship held between 1952 and 1957 are retroactively regarded as legitimate continuations of the World Snooker Championship, but that tournament was discontinued due to waning public interest in snooker in the post-war era. The world title was uncontested between 1958 and 1963.[1][2]
Then-professional player Rex Williams was instrumental in reviving the World Snooker Championship on a challenge basis in 1964. John Pulman, winner of the 1957 World Professional Match-play Championship, defended the world title across seven challenge matches between 1964 and 1968. The World Snooker Championship reverted to an annual knockout tournament for the 1969 edition, marking the beginning of the championship's "modern era".[4][5] The 1977 edition was the first staged at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, where it has remained since.[6][7] As of 1994, the most successful players in the modern era were Ray Reardon and Steve Davis, each having won the title six times.[8][9][10] Stephen Hendry was the tournament's youngest winner, having captured his first title at the 1990 event, aged 21 years and 106 days.[11] Reardon was the oldest winner, having secured his sixth title at the 1978 event, aged 45 years and 203 days.[12]
Overview
The 1994 edition of the tournament—the 25th successive year that the World Snooker Championship was contested through the modern knockout format—took place from 16 April to 2 May at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England, the 18th consecutive year that the World Championship was staged at the venue.[13][7][14][15] Sponsored by cigarette brand Embassy, it was the ninth and last ranking tournament of the 1993–94 season, held after the British Open.[16][citation needed] The defending champion was Stephen Hendry, who had defeated Jimmy White 18–5 in the final of the 1993 World Championship to win the title.[17]
Format
The top 16 players in the snooker world rankings were seeded through to the main stage at the Crucible Theatre. They faced 16 players who progressed through the qualifying rounds.[13][18] First-round matches were played as the best of 19 frames, held over two sessions. Second-round and quarter-final matches were played as the best of 25 frames, held over three sessions. The semi-final matches were played as the best of 31 frames, held over four sessions. The final was the best of 35 frames, also held over four sessions.[19][13]

Summary
Qualifying
The qualifying competition took place at the Norbreck Hotel, Blackpool, from 8 to 28 January.[22] The first four rounds were the best-of-nine frames and the later rounds were the best-of-19 frames.[23] There were 26 century breaks during the first four rounds, including a total clearance of 141 by Jamie Burnett in his 5–4 fourth round defeat of Graham Cripsey.[24] Leigh Robinson was on track to make the 19th maximum break of 147 in professional snooker in the third frame of his third round match against Norman Maher.[24] Robinson lost position on the final blue ball and failed to pot it, finishing the break on 129.[24] Neil Mosley, the reigning World Amateur Champion and English Amateur Champion, won through from round one to round five, as did World Under-21 Snooker amateur champion Robin Hull.[24] World Women's champion Allison Fisher defeated Richard King 5–1 in round three but then lost 0–5 to David McLellan.[24]
Karl Payne equalled the record for the highest break ever in a world championship qualifying match with a 143 in the 17th frame against Robert Chapman in round five.[25] Although this gave him a 9–8 lead, he lost 9–10.[25] In round six, John Higgins led Robinson 8–2 and 9–4 but lost 9–10.[26]
The 1980 champion Cliff Thorburn and the 1972 and 1982 champion Alex Higgins each won three matches and qualified for the main stage for the first time since 1990.[27][28] After his seventh round defeat of Stuart Pettman, Thorburn said "The big crowd is something that I always relish. That's why I want to get back to the Crucible so much. I want to get into a situation where I have to change my underpants, you get my drift?"[27] In Higgins's final qualifying match, he was 3–6 down to Tony Knowles at the end of the first session.[29] Higgins fell over a small wall while going to a pub during the interval, and gashed his left arm.[29] As seeking medical attention would have made him late for the concluding session, he bandaged himself.[29] During the match, small specks of blood from the wound fell onto the table.[28][30]
The UK Champion, Ronnie O'Sullivan, defeated Tony Jones 10–8 after leading 9–5.[29] Asian Open titleholder Dave Harold came back from 3–7 behind to beat Alain Robidoux 10–8, and Grand Prix champion Ebdon won 10–4 against Stefan Mazrocis.[29] Joe Johnson, who won the title in 1986 and was runner-up in 1987, compiled a 107 break to level at 9–9 with Anthony Davies, but then lost the deciding frame.[31] Doug Mountjoy led Les Dodd 9–5, but Dodd then won five consecutive frames to take the match.[31]
Only two of the players seeded 17th to 32nd, Dene O'Kane and Peter Ebdon, qualified.[28] Nine players qualified for the main stage for the first time: Davies, Harold, Gary Ponting, Surinder Gill, Mark Davis, Mark King, Billy Snaddon, Drew Henry and Fergal O'Brien.[27] Gill, ranked 207th, was the lowest-ranked player to qualify, and Ponting was the only first-season professional to make it through to the main event.[28][29] Payne's break of 143 was the highest of the qualifying rounds.[32]
First round
The first round took place from 16 to 21 April, each match played as the best of 19 frames over two sessions.[19]
Two-time world champion Alex Higgins qualified for the championship for the last time, losing 6–10 in the first round to Ken Doherty.[33]
Cliff Thorburn, another former champion making his final World Championship appearance, lost 9–10 in the first round to Nigel Bond after leading 9–2.[34]
18-year-old Ronnie O'Sullivan knocked out 1985 champion Dennis Taylor, who was also making his final appearance at the World Championship. O'Sullivan won their first-round match 10–6, his first victory at the Crucible after losing in the first round on his debut the previous year.
Second round
The second round took place from 21 to 25 April, each match played as the best of 25 frames over three sessions.[19]
Quarter-finals
The quarter-finals took place on 26 and 27 April, each match played as the best of 25 frames over three sessions.[19]
Semi-finals
The semi-finals took place from 28 to 30 April, played as the best of 31 frames over four sessions.[19]
Hendry sealed his position as world number one with a 16–9 semi-final victory over Steve Davis.[34] This was Davis' eleventh and last appearance in a World Championship semi-final.
Final
The best-of-35-frame final took place over four sessions on 1 and 2 May between Hendry and White.[19]
Hendry won his third consecutive world title and his fourth in five years. This achievement was all the more remarkable because he played every match after the first round with a broken elbow.[35]
This was Jimmy White's fifth consecutive final appearance, his fourth against Hendry, and his sixth overall. The match went to a deciding frame; White had a great chance to win his first World title when leading 37–24 and only needing a handful of pots to win the title but missed a black off the spot, and Hendry cleared up to clinch the title. This was White's last appearance in a World Championship final and the closest he ever came to winning the tournament.
David Vine asked White after the match, "Jimmy, what can I say, apart from 'Happy Birthday'?"[36] White replied, smiling, that Hendry was "beginning to annoy me."[36] For Brendan Cooper, author of Deep Pockets: Snooker and the Meaning of Life (2023), this "was the definitive distillation of the Jimmy White temperament; a philosophical archetype of the capacity to lose, and to lose well."[36] David Hendon wrote in 2025 that the audience at the Crucible, who had been anticipating that White would win, were "subdued in their applause" and that "Even Hendry didn't particularly celebrate. It seemed everyone in the room was devastated. Apart from the man who should have been."[37]
BBC coverage of the final attracted an average of 8.06 million viewers, with a peak of 13.4 million viewers during the final frame; the peak was slightly higher than the peak for the 1993 FA Cup final.[38]
Hendry received a £190,000 Bentley Continental R from Graham de Zille, owner of his sponsors Sweater Shop for winning.[39] Hendry later wrote that he only drove the car twice, and that after some pedestrians had given him the "wanker" gesture he realised that the car did not align with his style; he placed it in a museum and then sold it after about a year.[40]
In the annual revision to the world rankings after the tournament, calculated on results over two years, Hendry retained top place for the fifth consecutive year, with 53,300 points, 1,000 more than second-placed Davis.[41] White and Wattana both had 49,000 points, but Wattana took third place ahead of White because his performance over the more recent season has been better.[41]
