The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $4,203,958 between them, against $820,738 shared by the other 24 players paid.
The 39 cheques above come to $5,024,696 between them. We hold 76 players for the week in all, so 37 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.
