Recapping last week’s rankings:

Wyndham Championship 2026 · Sedgefield · Model vs Results

Who Ranked It Best? Ron Klos Beat the Consensus

Mean Absolute Error between each expert’s pre-tournament rank and where players actually finished. Lower is better. This one broke the pattern: the four-expert consensus finished third, behind Ron Klos and Ryan Noonan in every cut of the data.

Full board · players ranked by all four experts

Apples-to-apples on the same 142 players. Average finish error, in positions.

Klos took two of the three splits, and Noonan edged him on finishers by four hundredths. Consensus was third in all three – close, but never first.

How it is scored: Each expert’s predicted rank is compared to the player’s actual finish. Tied finishes are averaged within the group. Every player who missed the cut is placed at the midpoint of the did-not-make-cut block (position 114.5 in a 147-player field), along with the two withdrawals and the disqualification, since the leaderboard does not separate them. Taylor Moore is excluded (did not play). A lower MAE means the board tracked the real leaderboard more closely.
