Renowned snooker player Judd Trump added another feather to his cap by clinching his second major title of the season at the inaugural Saudi Arabia Masters final, where he outplayed Mark Williams in a thrilling 10-9 encounter. The victory not only earned him the prestigious winner’s cheque worth a record £500,000 but also solidified his position at the top of the world rankings.

Trump’s remarkable run of tournament successes has been nothing short of impressive, with his trophy cabinet boasting an enviable collection of major titles. His recent triumph in Saudi Arabia saw him surpass legendary players like Steve Davis to become the fourth most prolific ranking event winner of all time with 29 titles.

Only Ronnie O’Sullivan, Stephen Hendry, and John Higgins have more victories in their kitty than the current world No. 1. However, Trump shows no signs of slowing down, with six ranking titles already under his belt and more to come as he gears up to defend his English Open title in Essex.

The snooker maestro’s dominance extends beyond the traditional ranking events, as he has also triumphed in invitational tournaments like the Shanghai Masters and narrowly missed out on the Xi’an Grand Prix title. With a total of seven major trophies to his name, Trump’s green baize dominance spans across multiple countries and events.

Describing his success rate as unparalleled, Trump reminisced about his stellar performance between 2019 and 2020 when he held seven titles, including the prestigious World Championship. Despite his unrivaled success in the rankings, he believes that a fairer system should be adopted in the future to determine the world No. 1 based on performance rather than financial rewards.

Looking ahead, Trump remains focused on adding more glory to his collection, especially on home turf, after his impressive clearance secured him the Saudi glory. With the season progressing, Trump’s record-breaking win at the Saudi Arabia Masters has put him on track to maintain his status as the world No. 1, setting the stage for more exciting battles on the green baize.
