PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Genesis Open
PGA DFS Picks Genesis Open
What a finish on Sunday! Max Homa followed up an unbelievable shot on the 72nd hole with a miss from 3-feet that would have won the tournament. He, however, regrouped and took down Tony Finau in a playoff. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. This week we get a WGC event.

*****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.
