The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $5,280,000 between them, against $1,945,499 shared by the other 48 players paid.
The 63 cheques above come to $7,225,499 between them. We hold 63 players for the week in all, so no 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.
