Who is Judd Trump?

Judd Trump is a snooker player who was born on August 20, 1989.

He was raised in Whitchurch, Bristol by his mother Georgina, a cook, and father Steve, a delivery driver.

Judd has one sibling, a brother called Jack who regularly tours with him.

Trump had dreamed of becoming a professional snooker player from a young age and his parents worked hard to ensure his vision would be fulfilled.

By the age of 14, Trump had earned under-13 and under-15 English champion status as well as making it to the under-21 Championship semi-final.

He then joined the professional tour during 2005/06 where he became the youngest player ever to qualify for the final stages of a ranking tournament at the Welsh Open.

He then beat legendary snooker player Ronnie O’Sullivan 5-4 at the Grand Prix in 2008/09.

Trump hit a couple of stumbling blocks early on his career, but in 2011, the Englishman secured his first major win at the China Open, beating Mark Selby 10-8.

Since then, he has gone on to win almost everything in the sport.

He has compiled more than 900 century breaks and eight maximum breaks during his impressive career.

In June 2022 Trump was awarded an MBE for his services to snooker and charity.

He received the distinction as part of the Queen‘s Birthday Honours.

Judd has been reported to be in a relationship with Khadijah Misr in the past, though not much is known about his rumoured partner and any romance between them has been kept out of the spotlight.

The rumoured couple have been pictured together several times over the years but have never confirmed dating rumours.

Trump has been outspoken with his views on snooker’s strict dress code for players.

In April 2021 he called for more casual clothing within the sport, chastising the old-fashioned rule of players having to wear a waistcoat and bow tie.

He said: “Snooker is kind of stuck in a rut…not enough is being done on the whole image of snooker.

“I’ve got the golf on and their clothing is all changing, becoming more lenient for the younger generation.

“I don’t want to be stuck in a waistcoat walking to the Crucible, it’s not cool to be wearing that nowadays.”

What is Judd Trump’s net worth?

Trump has built up an impressive fortune during his time as a snooker player.

His estimated net worth is around £9 million and he has reportedly earned over £5.2m in prize money during that time.

What is his highest earnings in one season?

In 2019, Trump smashed the £1m mark in terms of prize winnings for one snooker season.

The Ace pocketed an incredible £1,093,900 having won the Masters, Northern Ireland Open, and Grand Prix.

This put his name in the history books as the first player to ever earn more than one million in a single campaign.

His biggest cash prize came after the victory over John Higgin in the Crucible final where he collected £500k for his troubles.

Speaking in 2019 after the big win, Trump said: “I might get the first round in.

“When it hits my bank account, I think I might go a bit wild.”
