Hendry had a loss in something called the Norwich Union Grand Prix invitational event during his run of victories in rankers, so it's definitely not him that has the record.
I find it amazing that there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer to this question.

This website was considered the 'authority' on all-things snooker, until the he (Chris Turner) sadly passed-away.
I guess that just further muddies-the-water!

Ive never put any importance or relevance on the championship league it should be scraped its the biggest rubbish and waste of time in snooker history.
its payed practice and when TV puts together Head to Head records they discount them out of hand.
in my mind Ronnie is undefeated in 2016 after 11 Matches played.

It's not about top level or not, it's about professional wins, and Crondon Park is included in those.
I don't know if these 24 are a record or not, but nevertheless it's a great achievment.
Hendry's 30 odd ranking sucessive match wins (excluding the non-ranking losses in between) is a much better record to have on your CV of course.
But Ronnie deserves every credit too.

CL should only be scrapped if it gets replaced with something better. No point getting rid of it just for the sake of it. Unless you prefer having an empty space in the calendar?

Why?
its the only tournament where playing in it takes second place to doing the washing or stay in bed

You were the one who brought up the term 'top level'.
