The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $5,291,250 between them, against $1,742,985 shared by the other 43 players paid.
The 58 cheques above come to $7,034,235 between them. We hold 60 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.
