The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $6,128,213 between them, against $2,024,817 shared by the other 46 players paid.
The 61 cheques above come to $8,153,030 between them. We hold 119 players for the week in all, so 58 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.
