The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $6,926,813 between them, against $2,468,301 shared by the other 46 players paid.
The 61 cheques above come to $9,395,114 between them. We hold 111 players for the week in all, so 50 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.
