The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $6,865,756 between them, against $2,868,648 shared by the other 62 players paid.
The 77 cheques above come to $9,734,404 between them. We hold 78 players for the week in all, so one 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.
