The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $4,444,000 between them, against $1,195,666 shared by the other sixteen players paid.
The 31 cheques above come to $5,639,666 between them. We hold 32 players for the week in all, so one 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.
