PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – PGA Championship
PGA DFS Expert Grades PGA Championship
What a finish to a great tournament. Collin Morikawa hit an absolutely perfect tee shot on 16 to pretty much sew it up. There are several rising stars on Tour and Morikawa may be the best of them. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. One more tournament to go before the Playoffs.

*****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.
