PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – WGC Mexico Championship

PGA DFS Expert Grades WGC Mexico Championship

Patrick Reed might be an a-hole but he’s a really good golfer. He captured the trophy at last week’s WGC Mexico Championship. I love these WGC events as the fields are just stacked with premier talent. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. After staying out west for the last two months, the Tour slides to Florida for the next month and it all begins with this week’s Honda Classic at PGA National.

*****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.
