I think this would be Ronnie's 28th Masters appearance, if he hadn't skipped a few along the way...
Hypothetical appearances don't count.
That's fine, except let's not pretend somehow that Higgins' record implies that he qualified for more Masters than anyone else. It's not the most meaningful record, given that Ronnie chose to skip the Masters twice.

Calm down mate. It's only a record.

Couldn't be calmer. Just pointing out a bit of a glitch in the record.

It’s not a glitch, it’s a fact.

what the actual record more most consecutive years in the top 16? since that's how the qualification is determined.

I think Higgins holds that record too, no?

What about appearances that happened in a dream. Do those count?

The best rout for him to take would be to beat Maguire, then Bingham/Murphy, then Gilbert/Wilson/Higgins/Allen/O'Sullivan.

Ronnie plays either of these two at 7pm Friday.
I think it's good news for those here who like to have a few drinks in the evening...

I don't drink much alchool myself, just sometimes when with friends but obviously that's not possible recently.

The winner has to play Ronnie.

Why did Allen change cue right after winning the CoC?

For his sake or others’?
He must have tested negative so I don’t suppose there’s any risk.

Of course, WST has strict rules so if he's allowed then everything must be fine with him.
