The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $5,704,000 between them, against $2,363,196 shared by the other 54 players paid.
The 69 cheques above come to $8,067,196 between them. We hold 154 players for the week in all, so 85 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.
