  Championship is the fastest.

  1) Championship

  2) Tournament

  3) Very Fast

  4) Fast

  5) Standard

  6) Slow

  The list above is correct.   In terms of your question, I believe the greens between the very fast and tournaments are about 15% faster.

  I use the following chart for all greens except Oakmont (because I hate those greens)...

  GREEN SPEED            Calc.

  CHAMPIONSHIP            0.72

  TOURNAMENT               0.76

  VERY FAST                    0.85

  FAST                               0.93

  SLOW                             1.20

  Tournament Greens?

  Whats the use of having a meter for distance for your putter, when its nowhere near close to being useful.Pull it back and hope your close.

  WGTadmin2:

  Last, but not least, the green speeds on WGT have been adjusted for the Legend and Tour Master Tiers.  The greens-keeper has been asked to tame his inner demons and save the championship green speeds for special events. Here are the general guidelines we have given the greens-keeper for regular play (actual green performance may vary):

  Tier          Green Speed Stimpmetered

  Hack               7.9

  Amateur         7.9

  Pro                  9.0

  Tour Pro         10.0

  Master            10.0

  Tour Master    11.0

  Legend            12.0
