PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – The Masters
PGA DFS Expert Grades The Masters
Dustin Johnson ran away with his first Masters jacket on Sunday. I’m sure it’ll be the first of many Green Jackets that he will take home throughout his career. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. We hit a little lull in the PGA schedule where a lot of big name guys will likely sit out. It’s off to Sea Island, GA and the RSM Classic 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.
