JIMMY WHITE has made a scathing dig at Ronnie O’Sullivan ahead of the 2025 World Championship.
The tournament is set to start on April 19 and will run until May 5 at the iconic Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.
O’Sullivan, 49, has not played since breaking his cue at the Champions League in January.
He has since withdrawn from the Masters, German Masters and Welsh Open in recent weeks.
The Rocket’s absences have not gone unnoticed by his pal and snooker legend, White.
The six-time world champion fired a scathing dig at O’Sullivan while speaking with Stephen Hendry.
As the two played snooker on Henry’s YouTube channel, he said: “Of course he would.
“But I think you know you have to get your act together.
“You can’t keep not playing in competitions then expect.
“Okay he did have that year out and come back and win it.

“He still practices, he is still playing all the time.”
White also recently suggested that O’Sullivan was closing on a return to the felt.
Last week, O’Sullivan revealed that he is planning to make his comeback at the World Grand Prix in Hong Kong.
He said: “I am really looking forward to coming to Hong Kong to play in the World Grand Prix.
“I have just been having a little break to keep myself fresh. I am excited to see you all.”
Meanwhile, O’Sullivan has put his £2million home up for sale following his split from ex-fiancee Laila Rouass.
Records show the property was bought in 2018 for £1.4m, which means O’Sullivan could make a tidy profit from the sale.
FROM his lightning breaks to blasts at officials, Ronnie O'Sullivan has fired snooker into the spotlight.
The seven-time world champion makes almost as big an impact away from the table as on it.
O’Sullivan has three children – two daughters and a son.
And the Rocket’s on-off relationship with British actress Laila Rouass has also hit the headlines.
He has opened up on battles with his weight and addiction.
While the controversial cueist reckons he wasted NINE YEARS of his career by partying too hard.
Despite being worth £14million, O’Sullivan is renowned for his love of canal boats and snubbing flashy cars.
His rivalry with fellow star Judd Trump has been branded ‘snooker’s greatest feud’.
And Ali Carter had his nose knocked out of joint by the Rocket in their infamous ‘Snotgate’ row.

MARS once looked like a tropical holiday destination with sun-soaked beaches, lapping waves and gentle breezes – according to new evidence from a Chinese rover.
Scientists now believe there was a large ocean on the north side of the planet – and conditions that could have supported life – instead of today’s dry, dusty plains.
The revelations come in a new study based on readings from the rover, which fired radar into the ground to analyse the planet’s subterranean layers.
Professor Benjamin Cardenas of Pennsylvania State University, co-author of the study, said: “We found evidence for wind, waves, no shortage of sand — a proper, vacation-style beach.”
He added: “Shorelines are great locations to look for evidence of past life. It’s thought that the earliest life on Earth began at locations like this, near the interface of air and shallow water.”
The pioneering discoveries used data from China’s Zhurong rover, which touched down on the Red Planet in 2021 and operated for a year, shooting radar pulses 80m down into Mars’s crust.
The vehicle first landed on a region called the Utopia Planitia, and travelled 1.2 miles across to slopes which scientists think are remnants of a 4billion-year-old shoreline.
The radar probe showed there are thick layers of sandy rock underground, sloping down at around 15 degrees.
This is a similar angle to the shorelines on Earth, suggesting Mars had beaches much like our own.
Researchers even analysed the tiny particles of rock to show they are about the same size as a grain of sand.
This helped scientists to conclude that Mars once had a large ocean of liquid water – something the planet is far too cold to support today, where temperatures sit around -65 Celsius.
The ocean and beaches existed on Mars when it had a much thicker atmosphere and warmer climate.
Professor Michael Manga of the University of California, Berkeley, another co-author of the paper, said: “The structures don’t look like sand dunes. They don’t look like an impact crater. They don’t look like lava flows. That’s when we started thinking about oceans.”
He continued: “These features have both the right orientation and the right slope to support the idea that there was an ocean for a long period of time to accumulate the sand-like beach.”
The study authors believe that rivers carried sand and sediment to the ocean from higher ground, which was the spread across the shoreline to form beaches.
The discovery of an ocean that once rippled across Mars’s surface also raises new prospects that life could once have bloomed on our solar-system neighbour.
Researchers now believe Mars could have been wet and warm for tens of millions of years – a potential window for alien life to prosper.
Prof Manga said: “The capabilities of the Zhurong rover have allowed us to understand the geologic history of the planet in an entirely new way.
“Its ground-penetrating radar gives us a view of the subsurface of the planet, which allows us to do geology that we could have never done before.
“All these incredible advancements in technology have made it possible to do basic science that is revealing a trove of new information about Mars.”
The rover used a combination of high and low frequency radar in order to “see” the underground formations.
