The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $11,783,254 between them, against $4,838,329 shared by the other 57 players paid.
The 72 cheques above come to $16,621,583 between them. We hold 126 players for the week in all, so 54 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.
