Notes
- Ronnie O'Sullivan and Ding Junhui both took 5 seasons to reach 100 centuries, which is the shortest period of time in which this has occurred.
- Tony Drago took 25 seasons to score his 100th century, the longest such period.
- Every World Champion from 1987 is on this list with the exception of Graeme Dott, who was World Champion in 2006.
- Jimmy White is the player with the most centuries who has yet to win a world title, although he has reached 6 finals.
- Ken Doherty is the highest player on the list never to have made a maximum break, although he did miss the final black to complete a 147 during his defeat in the final of the 2000 Masters.
- Anthony Hamilton is the highest player on the list never to have won a ranking title.
