Judd Trump
Judd Trump (born 20 August 1989) is an English professional snooker player who is a former world champion and the current world number one. He is in fourth place on the list of all-time ranking event winners, having won 30 ranking titles. He has also won five Triple Crown titles.
He reached the World Under-21 Championship semi-finals aged 14, Trump turned professional in 2005. He won his maiden ranking title at the 2011 China Open, was runner-up to John Higgins at the 2011 World Snooker Championship, and captured his first Triple Crown title at the 2011 UK Championship. In the 2018–19 season, he completed his career Triple Crown by winning both the Masters and World Championship, and became the first player to win over £1 million in prize money in a single season.
In the 2019–20 season, he won six ranking events, setting a new record for the most ranking titles in a single season. He was awarded an MBE in 2022. During the 2024–25 season, he won total prize money of £1,680,600, setting a new record for the most prize money in a single season. He was inducted into the Snooker Hall of Fame in 2021.
Trump made his 1,000th century break in professional competition at the 2024 British Open, becoming the third player, after O'Sullivan and Higgins, to reach this milestone. He holds the record for the most century breaks in a single season, having made 107 in the 2024–25 season. He has made nine maximum breaks in his career.
Trump was English Under-13 and Under-15 champion, and reached the World Under-21 Championship semi-finals at the age of 14. He joined the professional tour in the 2005–06 season, and at the Welsh Open he became the youngest player ever to qualify for the final stages of a ranking tournament. He also reached the last-48 stage at the China Open, losing 4–5 to Michael Holt, although this was designated the final qualifying round and was actually played in Prestatyn, Wales.
He defeated James Wattana 10–5 in the final round of qualifying at the 2007 World Championship, to become the third-youngest player ever at the time to reach the main stage of the tournament, after champions Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan, who had both been younger when they made their Crucible debuts. Trump is one of only five players to make their first appearance at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre at the age of 17, along with Hendry, O'Sullivan, China's Liu Chuang and Belgium's Luca Brecel. He played the 2005 champion and sixth seed Shaun Murphy in the first round, but lost 6–10 despite having led 6–5.
He did not build on this form in the 2007–08 season, only reaching the last 32 of the Welsh Open by beating Joe Swail 5–2 in the first round. He also missed out on the 2008 World Championship after a 9–10 loss to Swail in the final round of qualifying, despite having led 9–7.
Trump's fortunes changed for the 2008–09 season when he reached the venue stages of the first four events. At the Grand Prix, he benefitted from Graeme Dott's withdrawal before defeating Joe Perry 5–2 in the last 16, despite Perry feeling that he had outplayed Trump, who himself admitted to not having played well. Then came the biggest win of his career so far, when he defeated Ronnie O'Sullivan 5–4 to reach the semi-final, in which he was defeated 4–6 by John Higgins. After that, Trump beat two-time world champion Mark Williams to qualify for the 2008 Bahrain Championship. He won a qualifying event in 2008 to gain entry into the 2009 Masters as the only qualifier but was defeated by Mark Allen in the first round.
