The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $1,706,887 between them, against $21,805 shared by the other three players paid.
The eighteen cheques above come to $1,728,692 between them. We hold 30 players for the week in all, so twelve 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.
The other International years

38 other tournaments we hold a 2000 prize list for, in the order they were played.
