The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $4,007,670 between them, against $1,674,181 shared by the other 61 players paid.
The 76 cheques above come to $5,681,851 between them. We hold 128 players for the week in all, so 52 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.
