The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $6,592,750 between them, against $2,328,707 shared by the other 49 players paid.
The 64 cheques above come to $8,921,457 between them. We hold 110 players for the week in all, so 46 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.
