The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $7,587,850 between them, against $3,043,202 shared by the other 63 players paid.
The 78 cheques above come to $10,631,052 between them. We hold 129 players for the week in all, so 51 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.
