Are Tournament greens the same for TM's, L's & TL's?

  Does the degree of difficulty increase on tournament greens when a player moves up from Tour Master to Legend? And same question for Legend to Tour Legend. Thanks.

  Yes.

  "Tournament" greens are different for TMs and Ls, and TLs play on "Championship" greens, even faster. Identical putts play 130%, 135% and 140% of the length on Standard greens, slopes of any kind become more effective between them.

  Furtheron, there's a change to the furthest tees between TM and L.

  +1 To Alosso.

  The greens are affected slightly more by the break and speed but the big difference are the tees being a lot further back. More challenging and more fun IMO

  From TM to legend, just my opinion mind, straight line speed seems the same but breaks and borrows appear more exaggerated causing more roll outs well left or right of hole.I'm having a ball learning though.
