PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Mayakoba Classic
PGA DFS Expert Grades Mayakoba Classic
Viktor Hovland is quickly rising to be one of the best players on Tour. His 2nd victory came last weekend in Mexico. I’m guessing it won’t be his last for the 2020-21 season. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. The Tour will take a break until after the first of the year.

*****EXPERT GRADES*****
Grades are the result of a three step process.
First, the field is sorted by raw points achieved and assigned a grade 0-5, with 5 being best. Roughly the top 3-4% receive 5 points, the next 13-15% receive 4 points, the next 13-15% receive 3 points, and so on. In weeks with a cut, almost all MCs receive 0 points.
Next, we follow the same method described above, but we replace raw points with salary ($) / fantasy points (pts).
Finally, we weight the two results (2x raw points grade + value grade / 3) and assign a traditional letter grade.
