Those three words alone were enough to ignite widespread speculation, concern, and heartbreak among fans, players, and pundits alike.

### A Sudden and Emotional Decision

Sources close to the situation suggest that Higgins’ decision to resign from professional snooker is linked to **ongoing personal pressures, mounting physical demands, and the relentless mental strain** that comes with competing at the highest level for more than three decades.

Despite still showing flashes of his trademark brilliance at the table, insiders claim the veteran has been quietly battling **fatigue, motivation challenges, and the toll of constant travel**.

### An Era on the Brink of Ending

John Higgins is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in snooker history. His precision, composure, and tactical mastery have defined an era and inspired generations of upcoming stars.

Fans were quick to flood social media with emotional tributes, many calling the news *“the end of an era”* and *“a heartbreaking moment for snooker.”*

### What Happens Next?

At this stage, no official press conference has been confirmed, and questions remain over whether this is a **temporary step back or a permanent farewell** from competitive snooker.

Speculation is already growing that Higgins could move into **coaching, punditry, or an ambassadorial role**, ensuring his legacy continues beyond the baize.
