The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $7,732,999 between them, against $3,474,897 shared by the other 65 players paid.
The 80 cheques above come to $11,207,896 between them. We hold 143 players for the week in all, so 63 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.
