Description

Liang Wenbo (Chinese: 梁文博; born 25 March 1987) is a Chinese former professional snooker player who has been permanently banned from competing in the professional snooker circuit. He turned professional in 2005 and has won one ranking title, at the inaugural English Open in 2016. With teammate Ding Junhui, he has twice won the World Cup for China in 2011 and 2017. He has reached one Triple Crown final at the 2015 UK Championship, where he lost to Neil Robertson. He made three consecutive Masters appearances between 2016 and 2018, but lost in the first round each time, to John Higgins, Ronnie O'Sullivan, and Judd Trump respectively. His best performance in the World Championship has been reaching the quarter-finals in 2008, where he lost to O'Sullivan. He has made three maximum breaks in professional competition and achieved a career high of 11th in the snooker world rankings.

Following a domestic assault conviction, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) suspended Liang from professional competition from 2 April until 1 August 2022 for behaviour unbecoming of a sportsperson and for bringing the sport into disrepute.

The WPBSA suspended Liang again on 27 October 2022 amid a match-fixing investigation that subsequently implicated ten Chinese players. In January 2023, the WPSBA charged him with fixing matches, approaching players to fix matches, seeking to obstruct its investigation, and failing to cooperate with the investigation. As of 6 June 2023, he is serving a lifetime ban from professional snooker.
