The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $6,007,375 between them, against $2,452,982 shared by the other 52 players paid.
The 67 cheques above come to $8,460,357 between them. We hold 68 players for the week in all, so one 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.
