Murphy is preparing for life after snookerGetty The Masters champion has a growing list of side hustlesGetty Murphy is fresh from scooping £350,000 by winning the Masters at Alexandra Palace last weekend. The Magician beat Kyren Wilson in the final on Sunday for his second triumph in the event. His prize money was boosted by a further £15,000 thanks to a maximum break in the semi-finals. However, Murphy is not done earning as he looks to find a balance between training, playing and his other work commitments. The world number seven told the Express: “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.” The German Masters get underway in Berlin on Monday with £100,000 on offer for the winner. Murphy’s Ally Pally triumph saw him scoop £350,000Getty Murphy is already guaranteed £3,600 from the event by entering in the last 64 stage. He heads into the event with £636,000 won at ranking events across the last two years. Those include wins at the Players Championship, Tour Championship and Championship League in 2023. However, his second Masters title winnings did not contribute to the tally as his earnings came at a non-ranking event.
