The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $3,764,850 between them, against $1,475,620 shared by the other 52 players paid.
The 67 cheques above come to $5,240,470 between them. We hold 132 players for the week in all, so 65 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.
