The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $7,047,500 between them, against $2,961,895 shared by the other 63 players paid.
The 78 cheques above come to $10,009,395 between them. We hold 131 players for the week in all, so 53 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.
