The 2017 World Snooker Championship was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 15 April to 1 May 2017 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. It was the 19th and final ranking event of the 2016–17 season. The three qualifying rounds were held at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield from 5 to 12 April 2017. The deciding frame of the third-round qualifying match between Fergal O'Brien and David Gilbert was the longest frame on record in the modern era of the game; it lasted for 123 minutes and 41 seconds. Gary Wilson scored a maximum break of 147 in qualifying during his first round win over Josh Boileau. The winner of the title was defending champion and world number one Mark Selby, who defeated Ding Junhui 17–15 in the semi-finals and went on to defeat John Higgins 18–15 in the final. This was Selby's third World Championship win; he had also won the title in the 2014 and 2016 tournaments.
