How can you account for required averages to move tiers, when I have played higher tiered players with averages higher than mine that have moved to Master with an average of 100+ (moving from Tour Pro to Master), played less ranked rounds and tournaments. The only thing I can see them doing is buying golf balls all of the time.
I have asked several Master players what they did to move up and the common response is 'I don't know, just moved up'.
When checking their stats, they haven't played the suggested amount of ranked rounds, suggested average, etc. to move tiers at all.
