Steve Davis was a dominant force when snooker first became a major television sport. He was a six time world champion and won many ranking event titles. He is an accomplished and well-respected snooker player. He also plays poker. Davis also wrote several books about his life and his work as director of the WPBSA. His work as a television commentator/director of the Cue Zone Into Schools program has helped to increase his wealth.
At 17 years of age, Steve Davis made his first professional appearance. He made his debut at a ranking competition, the Pontin Open. Tony Meo beat Davis. Davis won several titles during his first season in professional golf, including three B&H Masters wins at Wembley.
After a slow start to his professional career, Davis regained his status as the world's best snooker player. He won five world titles in 1988 and 1989 and was the first to win the Triple Crown in the same season. He was also among the first players to win both a UK Championship as well as a world championship. He also won many tournaments in the 1980s.
The 1990s saw Davis' dominance wane, and he lost a lot of records to Stephen Hendry. He also lost in the World Championship to Jimmy White, which saw him slip to number two in the official rankings. In 1997, Davis lost to Ronnie O'Sullivan and was unable to defend the title. This loss led to his slipping out of the top 16 rankings for the first time in many years.
Davis started to show improvement after a slow start for his second season. He reached the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters as well as the Grand Prix. He was also the BBC Sports Personality Award of the Year for 1988. He received the OBE in 2001 for his services to snooker. He is also an avid poker player and hosts a weekly show on Phoenix FM. He made his 30th appearance at The Crucible in 2010
Davis maintained his position at the top in the world rankings for the next season. He won a number of ranking event titles and reached the final of the Welsh Open. He was able to stay in the top 16 for his 50th birthday, which was his greatest achievement. He also remained on the PTC circuit for a number of years, including the 2012 PTC Masters. He was among three players who reached three consecutive PTC quarter-finals within a single season.
He was also a successful commentator who hosted many snooker matches for BBC. He loves music and enjoys playing poker. He has a partner and two sons. He is also a DJ. He is currently worth PS30 million, if he is still employed by the BBC.
