2005 Billiard Players Money List (Men)

Six Filipino cue-masters made it to the Top 20 of the 2005 Players Money List. The only country that topped that was USA with 7 entrants. But if one would just look at the top 10, there were 4 Filipinos who made it versus only 3 Americans. Also, doing the math, the Filipino's still out did everybody else. The list should prove that the Pinoys still dominated the world of pool in 2005. Don't worry, I already did the math! Hehe...
