Trump became the first player to win six ranking titles in a single season, lifting the trophy at the World Open, International Championship, Northern Ireland Open, German Masters, Players Championship and Gibraltar Open.
The 31-year-old also built a huge lead at the top of the world rankings and became the second player to make 100 century breaks in a season.
