The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $6,923,000 between them, against $2,751,419 shared by the other 53 players paid.
The 68 cheques above come to $9,674,419 between them. We hold 117 players for the week in all, so 49 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.
