  hi

  it could be for several reasons, such as he maybe playing more ranked rounds or wins more match play games or something else.

  You have enough Ranked Rounds in but you need to get your average down to about 72/73 before you move up.

  A couple of Ping wedges would help you along the road enormously.

  It's nothing to do with level (that only tells which equipment you're allowed to buy) but with your scores in ranked strokeplay. The best of those count for your average.

  From your score history I see that you have made a good progress in the last week. If you continue in the range of 38 and better, you will be Tour Pro in no time.

  What happened then? - you bought your clubs long time before. Did you change your shots or the way you are putting (wild guesses)?

  Alosso is correct inthat level nothing to do with when you become a Tour Pro.

  To move from Pro to Tour Pro you need a 72 average in stroke play rounds. But only your best 20 rounds since becoming a Pro count.

  Hit some 35s or a few more 36s and you will be there soon.

  Allow for a wee nitpicking please ;)

  Due to the non-linear nature of this special average, also results above the average value will drop it. That is, if for instance a 38 replaces a 39 which might still be in. Then the average will drop by (78-76)/20 =.1 regardless.
