PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – The Masters
PGA DFS Picks The Masters
Scottie Scheffler showed everyone why he is the #1 player in the world last weekend at Augusta. He had a couple of hiccups right out of the gate on Sunday but quickly overcame the struggles and cruised down the stretch. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. This week is RBC Heritage at Harbour Town.

*****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.
