PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – ZOZO Championship
PGA DFS Expert Grades Zozo Championship
T-Dub put his first mark in the win column for this 2019-20 PGA season and he looked great doing it. As we all know, the Tour is better when Tiger is playing well so let’s hope this bodes well for the season. 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 heads to Bermuda for this week’s Bermuda 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.
