Order of Merit
In 2005, the European Tour's money list was known as the "Order of Merit". It was calculated in euro, although around half of the events had prize funds which were fixed in other currencies, mostly either British pounds or U.S. dollars. In these instances the amounts were converted into euro at the exchange rate for the week that the tournament was played. The top 10 golfers in 2005 were:
| Position | Player | Country | Prize money (€) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Colin Montgomerie | Scotland | 2,794,223 |
| 2. | Michael Campbell | New Zealand | 2,496,269 |
