The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $4,521,597 between them, against $1,861,201 shared by the other 60 players paid.
The 75 cheques above come to $6,382,798 between them. We hold 131 players for the week in all, so 56 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.
