The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $7,110,000 between them, against $3,054,798 shared by the other 58 players paid.
The 73 cheques above come to $10,164,798 between them. We hold 140 players for the week in all, so 67 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.
