  I have 2700 ranked rounds played along with more than 13000 total rounds played and an average of 53.98.  What more do I have to do to get to the Champion Tier?

  Forgive the intrusion but I have to ask; what is so important about achieving the Champion level?  I ask this not as a criticism but as a genuine question. I am currently a level 101 Legend, and as such, have access to all of the best equipment.  I am also playing from the Champion tees  That said, what is to be gained by moving beyond Legend?  I guess this  is more of a comment on society as a whole as I watch people continually purchase things they do not need and I continually marvel at the power of advertising and it's power over people. The same principle seems to apply to people quest to achieve Champion status.  Thanks.

  You need 750 Ranked Rounds as a Tour Legend and 59 or better average. Par 3 or Par 5 rounds do not count towards the 750. I am almost pretty certain all of those special CC Easy Tournament rounds do not count. Someone can correct me. Good luck.

  Your almost 2700 ranked rounds are a total for your career. No clue how many you needed to get to TL, but to get to champ, you need at least 750 ranked rounds played as a TL. And that means 750 with out any rounds from Best of Par 3s and 5s, Bandon dunes or any Custom course. Although those are counted as ranked rounds, they don't count towards your average saturation at 750 rounds as TL. Seeing you still didn't reach champ, the 750 rounds needed were not played yet.

  It's roughly 150 minimum to Legend + 500 minimum to TL. I agree, there must be some missing of the 750 rounds to C.

  Bro go play 9 hole rounds at your favorite course once you get to 750 Rounds below 59 you must have played courses that don’t count if you have that many just make sure you don’t play Par 3 or par 5 rounds or rounds in tournaments don’t count ur CC should have a scoring avg for Rounds mine does it weekly We usually play that newest Course it’s pretty Easy to get -9 or -10 on nine holes do that about 10 times a Day in about 2-3 months should have it and making Double Eagles & Eagles & Holes n one goes along way of moving up faster

  Simple question will answer whether you are saturated:  If you play a round and shoot more than 54 (or 27 on a 9 hole), does your average increase? (even .01)

  If your averages increases,  you are not yet saturated (not enough ranked rounds at current tier).

  Normally, saturation happens first, and then average lowers until tier is obtained.

  In your case, it’s meaningless,and I advise against it. 

   

  For the rest of us:

  Some do it for the status

  Some do it  for the challenge

  Some do it for the intimidation factor

  Some do it for the feeling of accomplishment

  Some do it because they like working toward goals

  And sometimes, it just happens

  If the easy CC rounds are not on a custom course they count,
