The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $3,708,250 between them, against $1,049,367 shared by the other 36 players paid.
The 51 cheques above come to $4,757,617 between them. We hold 53 players for the week in all, so two of them took no money: a missed cut, a withdrawal or an amateur place. A place written as T4 is a tie, and everyone tied for it was paid the same.
