What is Projected ownership?
The share of lineups in a large DraftKings classic contest expected to roster the player, in percent. Driven by price first — the crowd rosters the dear, strong players, on a curve by price rank that is the same whatever the field size — then win chance and points per dollar; little-known players are discounted. Sums to 600% across the field because a lineup holds six golfers.
A model of the crowd, not a measurement. Weights were calibrated on one contest's real ownership and one week's provider consensus, and are refitted from real contest ownership once enough weeks are stored; graded against real ownership in the DFS record.
How it's calculated
This is a published record for the season or career, restated here without adjustment or recalculation. Entries, finishes, prize money and ranking positions are all determined by official scoring and administration, and OTIS reads the published result. Where a figure was revised after the fact — a disqualification applied late, a ranking recalculated — the revised figure is what appears here, because the alternative is preserving a number the official record no longer stands behind.
How to read it
Read it alongside how many events the player entered.
What it doesn't say
Counting statistics reward opportunity as well as quality. A player who enters more events has more chances to accumulate them, so comparing totals between players with different schedules — or different career lengths — measures availability as much as ability. Rates and per-round figures answer that question better than totals do. They are also era-dependent in ways that are easy to miss: purses, field sizes and the number of events available have all changed across the window covered here, so a total from one decade is not directly comparable with the same total from another. And a season in progress is not a season: these figures keep moving until it closes.
