DonCaron:
I have a question on the 3rd ranked player. He has 208 ranked rounds and is at Tour Legend.
I just hit Legend 3 days ago and I read on the forums that I needed 500 more rounds before I can hit TL. I was at 908 RDS, so that will make it 1408.
Where is his 501 ranked rds?
There is a new calculation being applied lately to those lower tiered players that show exceptional ability at this game. This 3rd ranked player won loads of money , scored and had comparable stats to Tour Legends. There are a few others that have attained Tour Legend Tier (were bumped up) ... with even fewer ranked rounds.
What this new calculation is remains a mystery, and it's highly doubtful that WGT will be forthcoming with the method of determination. And rightly so, to prevent people from avoiding the axe, so to speak...
