PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Rocket Mortgage Classic
PGA DFS Picks Rocket Mortgage Classic
Tony Finau made it back to back wins last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. He ran away from the field and there wasn’t much drama to be found on Sunday. 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 heads to Greensboro for this week’s Wyndham Championship.

*****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.
