    I searched the forum thoroughly beforehand, and though there were some similar requests, I'm not sure they cover this angle.  I had some success early on in my WGT career and now find myself rarely in contention.  I know like real golf it takes a lot of playing/practicing to hone those skills.  I don't find the time to play as much as i used to these days.

    Anyways, enough drivel...I think it would be nice, if in our "stats" page, it would display our rankings within our respective tier, so we know how we stack up on driving, puttting, etc.  It could be displayed as simply as something like; Driving accuracy - 86.8%/345, as to represent you're 345th in accuracy in your tier.  Or perhaps it could be a searchable option on the main pages somehow.  Of course I know their are multi-account cheaters and sandbaggers, but it would give some satisfaction to know you're an accurate driver, good putter, etc., within your tier.  Maybe there could even be awards for that.  That may deter some sandbagging.  I mean...in order to play as a hacker, with masters skill, you'd have to blow shots purposely, which would reflect on your stats standings and awards.  I guess some wouldn't care so much if their winning tournaments, but when you're an honest player with only one account it does matter.  Good, bad, or otherwise, we can take pride in something!

    I know this might be a heavy request logistically, but I present it for your consideration.

    Still loving the WGT!!!

    Sounds like a great idea to me.I do look at my stats every now and then and do wonder sometimes how they compare to the rest of the field.Tier stat tracking is a good idea and I have not heard it mentioned before but I haven't been here that long.Maybe they'll consider it instead of that stupid Reputation tracking.

    The more stats and leaderboards, the better.  Hole and course breakdowns would also be great.

    I'm with you Git, this would be a much better addition and won't garner criticism which the addition of any type of rep system will inevitably get.

    (Prepares to start WGWII (World Golf War 2. 1 was earlier in the week)

    At one point, there were unofficial stat leader boards run by Gaoerfuqiu, which stopped after he was banned from the site. However, an official one run by WGT may get even more attention, and, as you said, would have no (foreseeable) downsides.

    Fortunately this feature is already part of the Roadmap ahead.

    Well that'll teach me to keep looking at that thread! Thanks Tibbets.
