Mark Roth (born April 10, 1951 in Brooklyn, New York) is a member of the Professional Bowlers Association. His 34 PBA titles are tied for third (with Pete Weber) on the all-time tournament winners list, behind Walter Ray Williams and Earl Anthony. He was the second professional bowler to surpass $1 million in career winnings, with Anthony being the first. His 8 titles won in 1978 are still the PBA record for a single season, topping the previous mark of 7 titles set by Billy Hardwick in 1969. Roth won another 7 titles in the 1979 season while collecting his third consecutive PBA Player of the Year award. He won his only career major title (US Open) in 1984, after having qualified for 10 previous "major" television finals without winning. Roth was inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame in 1987, and the USBC Hall of Fame in 2009.
Roth was well known for his high powered "cranker" style that has been copied by many bowlers since. Despite the power he generated, Roth was also one of the best spare shooters of all time, as he is notable for being the first bowler to pick up the 7-10 Split on television, on 5 January 1980 . In addition, he utilizes a seven-step delivery that is unique. Most bowlers regard a four-step or five-step delivery to be the classic form and the most effective way to throw a bowling ball.
Roth shot a 299 during the televised finals to win his very first PBA tournament at the 1975 King Louie Open in Overland Park, Kansas. Roth repeated the feat by shooting a 299 during the televised finals (it was Roth's first game and the final's second game) of the 1987 Greater Buffalo Open in Cheektowaga, NY.
