Judd Trump Edges Closer to Snooker Immortality with Century Blitz at Championship League!

Judd Trump continues his relentless pursuit of snooker history after delivering a stunning display at the Championship League, where he fired seven centuries to extend his lead at the top of this season’s century list. The world No. 1 now sits 21 tons ahead of Jak Jones as he aims to become the first player in history to record 100 centuries in two different seasons.

Trump is now just 26 tons away from achieving the remarkable milestone, a feat that would not only etch his name deeper into the sport’s record books but also earn him a £100,000 bonus. The only other player to have hit a century of centuries in a single season is Neil Robertson, but Trump is on the verge of surpassing that by achieving it twice.

At the Championship League in Leicester, Trump was in imperious form, cruising through the winners’ group with six consecutive victories. However, his run ended in the semi-finals with a 3-0 defeat to reigning world champion Kyren Wilson, who himself produced two centuries. Despite missing out on his fourth title of the season, Trump made significant progress towards his ultimate goal, adding four centuries on the final day to take his season tally from 67 to 74.

With £1.315 million already in earnings this season, Trump has opted to skip the upcoming Welsh Open to focus on bigger challenges ahead. His next stop will be the World Grand Prix in Hong Kong from March 4-9, where he will continue his charge towards yet another historic achievement.
