The top of the ladder

The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $3,889,000 between them, against $652,000 shared by the other nine players paid.

The 24 cheques above come to $4,541,000 between them. We hold 24 players for the week in all, so no 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.

The rest of the golf money

Golf tournament prize money carries the roll of honour for every event we hold, and golf earnings ranks the players by what they have won across their careers. Where a field is paid for every round it survives rather than once at the end, see Champions League prize money, and for a single event that pays a whole field on one night, World Championship darts prize money.
