The intermolecular forces in Oxygen are weak (van der Waals forces), which causes it to exist as gas.

On the other hand, Sulphur does not form strong (S=S double bonds) hence exists as a puckered structure held together by strong covalent bonds and exists as a polyatomic molecule. So, it exists as a Solid.
