PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – The Northern Trust
PGA DFS Picks The Northern Trust
Tony Finau is such a great golfer that it seems incomprehensible that it has been five years since he won. He ended that drought on Sunday in a playoff win over Cameron Smith. 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, the FedEx Cup Playoffs continue at the BMW 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.
