PGA DFS Expert Grades Shriners Hospitals for Children Open
Martin Laird won a 3-way playoff on Sunday to capture the title. A nice win for a guy that hadn’t hoisted a trophy since 2013. 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 Vegas for this week’s tournament.

*****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.
