Bio
Trump made huge strides forward in 2011 when he won his first ranking title at the China Open, reached the final of the World Championship and became UK champion, emerging as a crowd favourite with his thrilling style of play. He landed The Masters title for the first time in 2019, and built on that with his breakthrough world title a few months later, making seven centuries during one of the all-time great performances in the final against John Higgins. The following year he became the first player ever to win six world ranking events in one season, and his tally of ranking titles now stands at 30 - with only Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Hendry and Higgins ahead of him.
