PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – WGC Dell Match Play
PGA DFS Picks WGC Dell Match Play
I’ve always been a fan of the WGC Match Play. Billy Horschel won the trophy this year in an absolutley brutally slow day of golf on Sunday. 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 Texas for the Valero Texas Open 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.
