The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $2,104,830 between them, against $109,365 shared by the other eight players paid.
The 23 cheques above come to $2,214,195 between them. We hold 34 players for the week in all, so eleven 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.
