PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Fortinet Championship
PGA DFS Picks Fortinet Championship
Max Homa won the first event of the 2021-22 PGA season last week at the Fortinet Championship in California. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. This past week was our final week of grading with the short field this week. With the match play format this week in Ryder Cup, we’ll take the week off and be back at it next week.

*****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.
