Premier League (vs Shaun Murphy)
Welcome to neilrobertson.net, the official web site of Australian snooker professional Neil Robertson.

Winner of 9 professional titles in 7 years, and with a remarkable record of 9 wins from 10 televised final appearances, in 2010 Neil collected two professional titles: the 2010 World Championship and the 2010 World Open. He also joined an elite group of just 8 professional players (at the time) to have held the #1 world ranking since rankings officially commenced in 1975.

In 2011, Neil added to his trophy cabinet with PTC6, the first professional tournament ever held in Poland, and PTC8 the inaugural Alex Higgins International Trophy held in Ireland.

This year, Neil claimed his first Masters title in January, becoming just the 11th professional player to have won both the World Championship and The Masters, and was Runner-Up in the Grand Finals of the Players Tour Championship.
