In a moment that sent shockwaves through the snooker world, seven-time world champion and WPBSA icon Ronnie O’Sullivan has publicly endorsed Judd Trump as the new face of professional snooker, marking what many believe to be the dawn of a bold new era for the sport.
Speaking during a high-profile appearance that quickly went viral, O’Sullivan—widely regarded as the greatest player the game has ever known—praised Trump’s evolution, creativity, and fearless approach at the table. According to O’Sullivan, Trump now embodies everything modern snooker needs: flair, consistency, and the mentality of a champion capable of carrying the sport forward on the global stage.
“Judd has grown into the complete player,” O’Sullivan said. “He’s got the talent, the bottle, and the imagination to take snooker to places we’ve never seen before.”
The announcement has ignited passionate debate among fans and pundits alike. Trump, a former world champion and multiple-time ranking event winner, has long been admired for his attacking style and shot-making brilliance. In recent seasons, however, it’s his maturity under pressure and tactical sharpness that have truly set him apart—qualities O’Sullivan himself highlighted as crucial for long-term greatness.
Across arenas from Sheffield to the Middle East—where snooker’s popularity continues to surge—supporters have reacted with excitement and pride. Many see O’Sullivan’s endorsement as more than praise; it’s a symbolic passing of the torch from one generation to the next.
For his part, Trump responded with humility, acknowledging the weight of the moment. He described O’Sullivan’s words as “an honour” and reaffirmed his commitment to pushing the boundaries of the sport while respecting its rich traditions.
As the snooker calendar builds toward its biggest events, one thing is clear: with Ronnie O’Sullivan’s backing and Judd Trump’s game reaching new heights, the future of snooker looks brighter—and more electrifying—than ever.
