PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Charles Schwab Challenge
PGA DFS Picks Charles Schwab Challenge
This has to be the year of the playoff. It seems like every week we are watching the Tour guys play holes beyond the 72nd. This week it was Sam Burns taking down Scottie Scheffler in a playoff at Colonial. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. The Memorial is this week and it should be a loaded field as it typically is.

*****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.
