/**
* Golf / Qualifying Points Simulator
*
* Monte Carlo simulation of the 4 golf majors using a Plackett-Luce ranking model.
*
* Algorithm:
* 1. Load participants and their actual QP from completed majors.
* 2. For each incomplete major, build a simulated field of FIELD_SIZE players:
* - Tracked participants: strength = exp(PL_BETA × SG_Total)
* - Synthetic rest-of-field: strength = 1.0 (SG = 0, field average)
* 3. Draw finishing positions using the Plackett-Luce model:
* P(player i placed next) ∝ strength_i / sum(remaining strengths)
* 4. Award QP for top placements per qualifyingPointConfig.
* 5. Rank all tracked players by total QP; tally 1st8th placement counts.
* 6. Return normalized SimulationResult[].
*
* Strength calibration (PL_BETA = 1.5, FIELD_SIZE = 156):
* SG +3.0 → win prob ≈ 12% (elite major contender)
* SG +2.0 → win prob ≈ 5.8%
* SG 0.0 → win prob ≈ 0.6% (field average)
*
* Per-major odds (optional):
* If American odds are stored for this major and a player has no SG: Total,
* the odds are converted to an SG-equivalent skill for that major.
* If SG: Total is available it always takes precedence.
*
* Major name → odds column mapping (matched case-insensitively):
* "Masters" → mastersOdds
* "PGA Championship" → pgaChampionshipOdds
* "US Open" / "U.S. Open" → usOpenOdds
* "The Open" / "Open" → openChampionshipOdds
