SHAUN MURPHY has wasted no time in planning for life after snooker after revealing his growing list of side hustles.
Murphy, 42, banked £350,000 for winning The Masters for a second time earlier this month.
The Magician even added another £15,000 into his pocket after potting a maximum 147 break – despite being harassed by a wasp beforehand.
However, Murphy, now ranked No.7 in the world, appears to have one eye on retirement following the colossal influx of cash.
It comes after he admitted he is spending less time at the table practising while also revealing some of his new side gigs.
As quoted by the Express, he said: “I think as you get older, the practice time goes down a little bit as you get other commitments in your life.
“I’ve sort of started out in my own broadcasting career. I do the BBC events for them, I’ve got my podcast and all my socials and stuff like that.
“I’ve got my YouTube channel going on. I’m trying to practice as well for these events.
“It’s probably not nine to five anymore, but it’s every day, and I’ve had a couple of days off since the win at Ally Pally. Today is actually my first day back.
“I’m going to go to the office today, going to get the cue out, see if I can still pot a ball after the excitement of the last few days because we head to Germany on Sunday for the German Masters, so we’re straight back on the bike and have no time to rest.”
Murphy will be hoping to acquit himself well at the German Masters starting on Sunday as he warms up for the World Snooker Championship.
To date, his only Crucible triumph came back in 2005, but snooker’s Andy Murray – as Stephen Hendry labelled him – has been in fine form of late and should be feeling confident.
