The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $1,168,136 between them, against $21,550 shared by the other two players paid.
The seventeen cheques above come to $1,189,686 between them. We hold 29 players for the week in all, so twelve 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.

The rest of the golf money
Golf tournament prize money carries the roll of honour for every event we hold, and golf earnings ranks the players by what they have won across their careers.
