PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Travelers Championship
PGA DFS Picks Travelers Championship
Xander Shauffele led pretty much wire to wire this past week. He took advantage of Theegala’s poor tee shot on the 72nd hole to capture the Travelers Championship trophy. 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 the John Deere Classic and what should be a pretty weak field.

*****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.
