Shaun Murphy

Shaun Peter Murphy (born 10 August 1982) is an English professional snooker player who won the 2005 World Championship and has completed the Triple Crown. Nicknamed "The Magician", Murphy is noted for his straight cue action and his long potting. Born in Harlow, Essex, and raised in Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire, Murphy turned professional in 1998. His 2005 victory at the World Championship was considered a major surprise as he was only the third qualifier to win the title after Alex Higgins and Terry Griffiths. Since then, he has been runner-up at the World Championship three times, in 2009, 2015 and 2021. He has earned twelve ranking titles, including the UK Championship in 2009, which places him tenth on the all-time list of ranking tournament victories. He has also won twelve non-ranking tournaments, including the 2015 Masters (which completed his career Triple Crown) and the 2025 Masters. Murphy has earned over £4 million in prize money and has compiled more than 700 century breaks, including ten maximum breaks. His highest world ranking was number three, which he maintained for three seasons following the 2007–08 season.
