11 Tournaments Finishes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th - 4x, 17th - 3x
$601,200.00 dollars from sources other than winning Pool/Billiard tournaments.
On a side note, I have met Jeanette several times and she has quite the personality. She also does exhibitions and teaches. All though she is a GREAT Pool player she has figured it out as far as marketing herself.

Barnes' $313,000 must have included endorsements because the PBA listed his winnings as barely over $100,000.
He had a pretty substantial sponsorship from Columbia before the Ebonite buyout. I believe it was $1M over 8 years. Plus he won the Roll 2 Riches twice, then followed it up with a $30K win in a big European bowling event. I believe it was a few month span where he raked in more than the next two guys on the money list combined.
Now, that was a few years ago.

Granted they don't make what golfers make, but $100,000 for 21 weeks ain't bad. The Managers where I work have to work 60+ hours a week 52 weeks a year to make that much.
21 weeks as opposed to 52. I don't see where the complaints are coming from.
Believe me, PBA pro's that win a tournament a year are not hurting at all with their endorsements and never having to buy a bowling ball.
You keep leaving out the $28,000 in expenses that it cost these players to compete over 21 weeks. Not everyone is in the top 10 in earnings. At the professional level, it is what the bottom tiered professional is earning that indicates the health of that particular sport.

You do realize that all of the staffers on tour generally never pay expenses right. Wes malott makes 50,000 a year throwing Columbia. All storm and Brunswick staffers get paid on tour.
