  I am level 90, and a Master, my average is 64. I seem to be stuck on Master Tier. I finish ranked rds under par and have won match plays against higher tiers. I don't understand why I don't get to Tour Master. any help or advice?

  Best recommendation is to keep playing your stroke play matches. It is the best way to advance in tiers. Eventually you'll reach Tour Master.

  I think your average score needs to come down to 62 for you to advance to Tour Master.

  Didn't the matches have had any effect?

  In stroke play, breaking Par with 35/70 or 34/68 will hardly lower your average. Unfortunately, the good rounds of 33 and 32 are rare in your list, and you need a few better ones, too.

  Reminder: Only 31 scores break the necessary 63 average!

  As Typhoon said, play for fun - it will happen!

  It's amazing the number of WGT players that don't seem to understand the basic math involved in determining their scoring average.

  As far as wins in some of the game types that WGT uses to combat players who 'sandbag', WGT does not say how those results are applied to our score average.

  How much you are over or under par is not what matters, because par for the various WGT  golf courses is not the same.

  Your total score is what matters.

  1 under par on a par 72 course means your score was a 71.

  1 under par on a par 70 course means your score was a 69.

  Once we reach the Legend tier our scoring average is determined by our best 500 ranked round scores. Consequently, the rate at which Legend and Tour Legend tier players can lower their scoring average slows way down compared to the lower tiers.

  The upgrade definitely happens at 63.00.
