Advancing from Tour Pro to Master

  I am trying to ascertain what the parameters are to advance . I understand how a handicap system works but I understand there is also an algorithm which is integrated in the calculation. I am presently at Level 83 with a scoring average of 67.76. I have duly noted that there are individuals with a higher scoring average that have attained Master Level.

  Could any one elaborate.

  Regards.

  Wayne.

  67 will get you there. Averages reset on a tier change so you could tier up with a 67 average, do a first round as a Master of 80, then you'll have an average of 80 until you play again.

  Ranked rounds are earned when you complete a 9 or 18 hole Scored game from the Main Menu.  Also, any Club tournament or WGT tournament matches are ranked games.

  Par-3 and Par-5 courses will not count as a ranked round not even in in tournament play.  Nor any Practice rounds, Skins, CTTH, Blitz, Match play or Alternate Shot matches.  So all the "fun" matches are not ranked rounds.  If you want to tier up, you must play Score, or Score Tournament Matches.  Thas is why you will find players wo have played WGT for years, andare still Pros, Tour Pros, and Masters.  They play fun games with close friends and dont care about what tier they are in.  

  To Tier up you need the following:

  Pro to Tour Pro:  20 ranked rounds/ 72 avg or less

  Tour Pro to Master:  30 ranked rounds/ 67 avg or less

  Master to Tour Master:  40 ranked rounds/ 63 avg or less

  Tour Master to Legend:  50 ranked rounds/ 61 avg or less

  Legend to Tour Legend:  500 ranked rounds/ 60 avg or less

  The ranked rounds are the minimum needed in each tier to become saturated.  The quanity of ranked rounds, in theory, resets each time you tier up.

  on another note all these calculations go out the window if you play for credits , if you win a ready to go at a pro you will be promoted very fast, you should enjoy it while you can.

  when you get legend the game is a completely different game

  The important no. is the ranked rounds in the current tier, minus Par3s and Par5s.

  From Tour Master on, it's good to note the RRs at tier start.
