  It may be time to rethink

  I agree....WGT should  exclude all red tee tournaments from averages.

  Even without red tee you can score 200 times 26 on black tee  and 100000000000 times 80 average on black tee and have a 52 average.

  @peoch
  
  Apologies, but I can't even process that.
  
  Regardless, the average required for Champion is at or below 59.00, not 59.99.

  peoch:

   You need to play at least 200 ranked rounds as Tour Legend to saturate ( average stops  going up ).
    When it is  59,99 you go from Tour Legend to Champion.
  
     You need to play an additional 200 ranked rounds as Tour Legend before reaching Champion.
  
    You need to play another 200 ranked rounds as a Champion to saturate ( average stops going up ).

  +1 but your reference to 59.99 is incorrect.

  1) Once you hit Tour Legend the clock resets to zero on your number of ranked rounds.

  2) Your first game as a TL will reset your average.  As an example, if you shoot a 32 in your first Ranked Round as a TL your average will jump up from 60 to 64.  And lets all remember that a RR is any 9 or 18 hole round played on a normal course or the Best of Par 4 course...the Par3 and Par5 courses are not considered RRs.

  3) You must play 200 RRs as a TL to saturate and when your average gets to 59.00 or below then you will advance to Champion tier.  Only the lowest 200 RRs are in the TL calculation...hence "saturation".

  4) Once you advance to Champion tier then your RR clock and average reset to zero again.  So after your first RR as Champion your average will be based on that very first RR score.

  5) Then you need 200 additional RRs to saturate at the Champion level.

  To go from Legend to Tour Legend requires 500  "new" RRs.  To go from Tour Legend to Champion requires 200 "new" RRs.  It confuses me on how long term players of this game have difficulty understanding these basic facts.

  True.

  Both not true. You copied a wrong statement. Won't become true by repeating it over and over.

  The threshold is 60.000 59.000, and the "additionals" are bs.

  @pmm711
  
  What you wrote is my understanding. But the other person clearly wrote, "When it is 59,99 you go from Tour Legend to Champion." That's not correct.  
  
  Maybe the person meant from Legend to Tour Legend. But it wouldn't be correct for that either because that's 60.000.

  I guess it's their game, and they can do what they want. But I really hate it when people "move the goalposts." The requirements should be consistent for everyone. Of course, consistency and WGT don't often find themselves in the same sentence. ;-)  
  

  In regards to both posts above...

  I disagree as the playing field isn't level.  Some people choose to "buy" balls and that makes the game play "easier".  Give me top balls and give me the time and I'll eventually reach Champion tier from the tips.

  Now I play "the rocks"...and I can also play the game from the tips and have a great time doing so while playing with those rocks.  I also didn't want to grind out playing for 2-3 years with those rocks just to reach an imaginary tier called Champion.  You see, my brother, who was dying from AML, told me to reach Champion any way I could...in honor of him.  SO...I hammered it out quickly to get a monkey off my back and to free my mind of Andy's suffering and eventual death.  People do things for different reasons.  Don't be so judging.

  And...if you ever want to play me on a level playing field...with the rocks & from the tips I'm ready any time.  I enjoy the game that way...plays more to true life than this shooting 54 and less gamer BS.
