Ronnie O’Sullivan has cast doubt on whether he will play in the United Kingdom next season after his hopes of record eighth world title in the modern era were dashed by Stuart Bingham.
O’Sullivan was beaten 13-10 in the quarter-finals of the World Championship.
‘The Rocket’ also saw his hopes of becoming only the fourth player to win all three Triple Crown events in a single season end on Wednesday at the Crucible Theatre.
“I am aware of my value, it is my time and what I bring to the sport,” said O’Sullivan.
“As long as those needs are met I will keep playing.”
The 48-year-old recently signed a three-year ambassadorial agreement with Saudi Arabia, requiring him to playing in all World Snooker Tour events in the nation.
As part of that deal he will also undertake coaching trips and set up an academy in the Middle East to help develop the game in the region.
“There are only so many days I allow myself to be away from home,” he added.
“World Snooker is a commercial business and I decided I had to be commercial to enjoy being on the Tour.
“I don’t just turn up to events, there is a tax to be paid and if people are prepared to pay it I will get my cue out of its case. If not I am content to never ever play again and do other stuff.”
