The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $5,805,500 between them, against $2,417,740 shared by the other 56 players paid.
The 71 cheques above come to $8,223,240 between them. We hold 96 players for the week in all, so 25 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.
