That was the first time I\u2019d met any players from out of Scotland.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>35 years on from that first meeting, the pair met in the 2025 World Championship quarter-final, which Williams dramatically won 13-12 on the final black.<\/p>\n<p>Higgins feels he \u2018owes him one\u2019 for that painful defeat, but it is now a friendly rivalry that has lost the edge it once had.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think it\u2019s a lot better than it was,\u2019 the Scot said of his relationship with the Welshman. \u2018It\u2019s only natural as well, I think, when you see the boys nowadays, the likes of Judd [Trump] and Kyren [Wilson], you just get a feeling that they really feel as if they\u2019re rivals and they want to keep their distance from each other. It was probably exactly the same [for us].<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Back in the day when me, Mark and Ronnie were playing, you were vying against each other for the same titles. As well it\u2019s been well-documented when I\u2019d left the management stable with Ian Doyle and Mark was still under that banner, there was a bit of rivalry there. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-2212617471.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=646\" class=\"article-image wp-image-27751222\" alt=\"Halo World Snooker Championship 2025 - Day Eleven\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Higgins and Mark Williams played out a Crucible classic last year (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018But nowadays you\u2019re basically smiling walking into these events, knowing that you\u2019re still playing against these guys and still competing.

I think everybody\u2019s got a different outlook life.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Higgins felt his meeting with Williams in Sheffield last year was likely their last at the Crucible, but the odds of there being another have been improved this week after the announcement that the World Championship is set to stay at the venue \u2013 with a significant revamp \u2013 until 2045.<\/p>\n<p>The four-time world champion was thrilled with the news and admits he was stunned by it, feeling a departure from the Crucible was likely when the previous contract was due to end in 2027.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Talking Snooker Episode 247 - World Championship staying at Crucible until 2045: Our Verdict\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/58hwN3ywbFDdc3Kf5Lm6zT?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u2018I couldn\u2019t believe it,\u2019 he said. \u2018I could not believe it how they got it over the line, especially for the amount of years.
