The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $5,652,000 between them, against $2,128,946 shared by the other 51 players paid.
The 66 cheques above come to $7,780,946 between them. We hold 66 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.
