A new season of sports
In the 2024 Riyadh Carnival Season Masters, O'Sullivan defeated Trump and Brecel in a row on the last match day to win the title of this event. This is O'Sullivan's fifth championship this season, he received 250,000 pounds of championship bonuses, and the total prize money this season is as high as 1,141,500 pounds, which is the highest total prize money in a single season, O'Sullivan surpassed the previous record holder Trump, which is really shocking.
The 48-year-old O'Sullivan has been selective this season, giving up some small events and focusing on big events, as well as overseas events including China and Saudi Arabia. This choice has allowed O'Sullivan to remain very competitive, and has won many important titles including the Masters and the British Championship. This time in Saudi Arabia, the high prize money and easy game are the driving force of O'Sullivan.
In the face of Higgins, O'Sullivan was bloodless, and swept the old opponent with three consecutive strokes. Facing Trump on the closing day, O'Sullivan once again hit a single shot to break 100 and advanced to the final 4-1. In the final championship match, O'Sullivan played against Brecel, in the case of falling behind 1-2, O'Sullivan hit two shots to break 100, won four games in a row, and the last three games were all clean opponents, and won the championship easily 5-2.
The fifth title of the season was easily obtained, and the Saudi tycoon gave away a championship bonus of 250,000 pounds, O'Sullivan smiled very happily, this should be the easiest high prize money he got in his career, O'Sullivan hopes that there will be more such games, because he enjoys it. At the same time, O'Sullivan set another historic record, his total prize money this season reached 1,141,500 pounds, surpassing Trump's record of 1,093,900 pounds in a single season set in 2018 19 and becoming the first person in history.
What's even more terrifying is that there are three other major ranking tournaments this season, namely the World Open, the Tour Championship and the World Championships, and O'Sullivan has a good chance of raising the total prize money to a level that is difficult for others to catch up with. This is the 48-year-old O'Sullivan, Ding Junhui said before that he hopes to be like O'Sullivan and prolong his career as much as possible, O'Sullivan has already conquered Ding Junhui, and Ding Junhui will also work hard to compete with idols, find his best condition as soon as possible, and continue to maintain this state after the age of 40.
