The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $5,133,600 between them, against $2,156,256 shared by the other 56 players paid.
The 71 cheques above come to $7,289,856 between them. We hold 155 players for the week in all, so 84 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.
