PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Honda Classic
PGA DFS Picks Honda Classic
When Sunday started it was Daniel Berger’s tournament to lose. By the end of the front 9, he was no longer the leader. Sepp Straka took advantage and won the Honda Classic. The pouring rain didn’t help the last couple of groups on 17 & 18. 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 stays in Florida for the Arnold Palmer Invitational this 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.
