Following his impressive victory at the Shanghai Masters to indicate that he has returned to form, Trump will be among the favourites to land the WST’s new bonus initiative.

Ronnie O’Sullivan also has the ability to target the six-figure prize, though he will be aware that he will need to improve on his prior seasons if he is to get within touching distance of the coveted 100 centuries.

The 48-year-old’s most centuries came in 2017/28, when he scored 74. However, The Rocket should never be forgotten, and with such a large cash incentive on offer, O’Sullivan will be a contender for the prize.

WST Chairman Steve Dawson commented on the new bonus, saying, “We are thrilled to announce this new incentive because it adds an additional storyline that will run throughout the season.

“If a player is on target for the ‘century of centuries’ going into the last few events then the drama will build with every match!”

Trump presently leads the way for centuries this season, having hit ten in last week’s Shanghai Masters.

Shaun Murphy is just behind him on eight while O’Sullivan is currently only on one, though that is a number that will only increase from here on out.
