The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $4,804,200 between them, against $2,042,700 shared by the other 59 players paid.
The 74 cheques above come to $6,846,900 between them. We hold 137 players for the week in all, so 63 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.
