The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $4,730,198 between them, against $1,954,790 shared by the other 54 players paid.
The 69 cheques above come to $6,684,988 between them. We hold 115 players for the week in all, so 46 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.
