2023 Money leaderboard

Filler also earned his money playing a game, while you had to...work.

I am one of those lucky few who never worked a day in his life because I enjoyed what I was doing so much I would have worked on those things even if they did not pay me to do so......
 
Can anyone access the numbers from 2019 and paste them here? I could have sworn I could go back 10 years on the "money list archive". Now I only see 2023 and 2022.
It looks like the links were removed in a remodel. If you are clever, you can edit links and get to what you want. Here is 2019.

Not bad. 87% increase from 2019 (the last full year before C), to 2023.
 
Prize money increasing is good, but why so much enthusiasm about top 10 getting more and more? Snooker players at WST were very happy at the dawn of Barry Hearn era with his top-oriented model, but recently those down the ladder realized they can not afford their living based on game revenues only (simply they are not paid enough).

You don't get to Filler's level without working. Playing pool is fun but shooting a few hundred draw shots gets old. Even the level of practice I put in can get tedious and I'm sure he puts in a lot more than I do.

That's an excellent point. It's great to see the improvement, but we need 100 players making $100K. Maybe even more money than that after you figure in expenses.
 
It is good to see those $ #'s going up.

Keep in mind players didn't clear those amounts and there is plenty of money earned not on the lists
