    Championship is the fastest.

    1) Championship

    2) Tournament

    3) Very Fast

    4) Fast

    5) Standard

    6) Slow

    The list above is correct.   In terms of your question, I believe the greens between the very fast and tournaments are about 15% faster.

    I use the following chart for all greens except Oakmont (because I hate those greens)...

    GREEN SPEED            Calc.

    CHAMPIONSHIP            0.72

    TOURNAMENT               0.76

    VERY FAST                    0.85

    FAST                               0.93

    SLOW                             1.20

    Tournament Greens?

    Whats the use of having a meter for distance for your putter, when its nowhere near close to being useful.Pull it back and hope your close.

    WGTadmin2:

    Last, but not least, the green speeds on WGT have been adjusted for the Legend and Tour Master Tiers.  The greens-keeper has been asked to tame his inner demons and save the championship green speeds for special events. Here are the general guidelines we have given the greens-keeper for regular play (actual green performance may vary):

    Tier          Green Speed Stimpmetered

    Hack               7.9

    Amateur         7.9

    Pro                  9.0

    Tour Pro         10.0

    Master            10.0

    Tour Master    11.0

    Legend            12.0
