The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $2,790,000 between them, against $959,558 shared by the other 52 players paid.
The 67 cheques above come to $3,749,558 between them. We hold 90 players for the week in all, so 23 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.
