The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $4,336,000 between them, against $1,239,036 shared by the other 29 players paid.
The 44 cheques above come to $5,575,036 between them. We hold 77 players for the week in all, so 33 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.
