  I have noe 792 or at tour legend. That number is not the actual count as I didnt keep track of the par 3s and par 5s I played. My avg is still not indi ating being g saturated my avg. now stands at 63.48 and rounds of 29 and 30 on 9 holes with par being 36. Those scores give me a decline of .01 most often occasionally .02

   To the gent who was 100% positive that saturation of tour legend is 200 rounds has not a clue it's still 750 from all I know and I have a list  of players that are in the same mind set. Count on that or dont but I'd bet the house I'm correct.

  Yes its definitely  59 but where on earth is the mathematics that tells you200 rounds is saturation point I now stand at 795 or while on tour legend tier. 50 rounds ago I played in a clash over several days probably 18 rounds of play. Going into the event my avg was 62.12 after clash play it went to just shy of 63 that is all occurring well over 600 r.r of play. I didnt keep a count of par 3 and par 5 rounds so that number is a guess. But it is way way over 200 I probably will have 150/ 200 rounds after saturation to make champion. You have to be playing a different game or may I suggest that you post a 9 hole round with a score in the 50s and tell us your avg remained the same with only 200 r.r of play at tour legend. Hogwash

   But while we are on topic why is it that wgt can keep track of the players play records in each players stats and do it acturately but with every statistic yet not devise a way to not add the non ranked rounds (i.e. par 3 rounds and par 5 rounds)into the total count of ranked rounds. I dont think the score is counted into players avg. while playing par3 & par 5 rounds yet they do go on the total count of r.r. that one has played.that one still makes me scratch my head wondering Anyone with an explanation  for that I'd love to hear.

  That's correct.  It's 750 now.  But back in 2015, when this thread was current, it was 200.

  Okay, first of all, bravo for that triple-negative.  You don't see those too often.  Inaccurately spelling the word "accurately" was a nice touch too  :) 

  But in all seriousness, I think the answer to your question is:  Although Par 3 and Par 5 rounds do not count toward your tier saturation (or your overall average), they are included in your stats (Par 3 and Par 5 averages, approaches, scrambling %, sand save %, putting, etc.) if you play them as Ranked rounds rather than Practice rounds.

  Hope this helps.

  Hey Scott, the OP is from 2015. The current saturation at tour legend is at or real close to 750 ranked rounds, then a 59 avg to hit champ.

  But would you bet the house that it was 750 rounds back in 2015?

  I think you need to pay a bit more attention to the dates of the posts along with their substance. 

  Back in 2015 and until (IIRC) 2018, the saturation number was 200 for Tour Legend as well as 200 for Champion tier.

  I tiered up to Tour Legend on March 1, 2017. I still have the spreadsheet of all my scores from back then. I can assure you that saturation number was 200 rounds then.

  Or maybe you should consider the criteria changed.
