RONNIE O’SULLIVAN has revealed he may be forced to quit the sport if he has to cut down the time he plays in China. 

The world No.1 landed himself in hot water when he slammed the World Snooker Tour (WST) for threatening the ‘Macau 5’ with punishment after they snubbed last month’s Northern Ireland Open for a lucrative exhibition, since moved to December, in China.

Seven-time world champion O’Sullivan, 47, has regularly travelled to the Far East for big-money exhibitions and official WST tournaments this season.
