PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Shriners Hospital Open
PGA DFS Expert Grades
Welcome in to this week’s PGA DFS expert grades. Kevin Na took down Patrick Cantlay in a playoff to hoist the trophy in last weekend’s Shriners Hospital for Children Open. Couldn’t think of a better guy as I’ve always been a big fan of Na. 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 Texas this week and the Houston Open. Stay tuned for the Texas Open Consensus later 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.
