  Hello folks, as a newbie to the game I am still soaking up all the information I can to improve my game but one thing i don't understand is the tier levels.

  Currently I am Amateur status with Level 35 though i see other players with Tour Pro on Level 34 and at the other end of the spectrum - Amateur with Level 46.

   

  So i ask, what is the criteria for moving your status up and is there any benefit to 'camping' at a level?

  Regards,

  BR

  You'll become a Pro at an average of 80 after 10 ranked rounds as an Amateur.

  Level (eg 35) has nothing to do with your tier (amateur), it only unlocks equipment. Staying at a tier on purpose while leveling up is called sandbagging, and it's good for sissy, cheating losers who suck.

  FAQs:

  My tier says I'm a "Hack". How do I change tiers?

  Advancing to the next Tier requires a qualifying Average Score AND a minimum amount of completed stroke play games, which will take a little more time but will help players reach the Levels necessary to unlock upgraded equipment that is helpful to compete at higher Tiers.

  Ok, i'm getting close to what i'm looking for now, thanks people. But is there no public record of what the required average score and miniumum stroke play games is for each Tier?

  It would be good to know what i'm aiming for for each next Tier i want to achieve.

  This was posted in another thread, how accurate it is, I do not know. Well, I know that the Tour Pro is correct as it worked for me. Hope this helps.

  Pro = average 80 with at least 10 ranked rounds played as Amateur

  Tour pro = average 72 with at least 20 ranked rounds played as Pro

  Master = average 67 with at least 25 ranked games played as Tour pro

  Tour Master = average 63 with at least 40 ranked games played as Master

  Legends = average 61 with at least 50 ranked games played as Tour
