The answer is Ray Reardon. His win in the 1982 Professional Players Tournament at the age of 50 led to him recapturing the world number 1 position in the first set of rankings to be calculated on tournaments other than the World Championship. Apart from Reardon, only Mark Williams, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Stephen Hendry have ever recaptured the number 1 ranking. So at 50, Reardon remains the oldest player ever to win a ranking tournament.
He retired in 1992, but maintains an active interest in the game. He has recently been advising Ronnie O'Sullivan. Reardon is now 74.
Fred Davis played professionally well into old age, making his last appearance in the Crucible in 1984 at aged 70 and only retiring in 1992, aged 78. He did not win this tournament. The last tournament Davis won was the World Matchplay in 1956 at the age of 43. He was 85 at the time of his death in 1998.
