  I believe it takes a 61 average.

  I think 63.

   You need to have played 40 ranked rounds as master, and none of these par 3 ones count toward that.  You've played about 18 of them.

  Looking at your score history, it doesn't appear to me that you're close to having 40 ranked rounds at your current tier. None of those par 3 rounds count as a ranked round toward average and tier progression.

  Oh..you have to play 40 rounds after you rank up? I thought you just needed 40 total. And I thought those par 3 rounds just didn't affect your average.

  Yes, the minimum required number of ranked rounds is rounds completed at that tier. Look on the bright side: the number of rounds that compose your average is relatively low. When you get to Legend tier, the number is 500.
  
  By the way, it's not just the par 3s that don't count in the number of required rounds that are used for average. Par 5s and custom courses also don't count.

  Last question(s), I know that scored Match Play rounds are also somehow mixed in with the ranked rounds, because I had less than the required amount of Ranked Rounds before I ranked up to Master and I was playing scored Match Play. So how does that work? Just the match play rounds that you win against higher tiers count towards your ranked rounds? How can I find out my total ranked rounds that will count towards the 40 I need to get to Tour Master?

  No, a MP win against a higher tiered player can reduce your average but doesn't count as a ranked round towards tiering up.

  Only ranked rounds of strokeplay count towards saturation/tiering up..

  No par 3s, Par 5s or custom courses count.

  You should have taken notice how many you had when you last tiered up. Check your score history, you might be able to see from there.

  But when I ranked up to Master I had less than 20 ranked rounds listed on my stats, much less 30 rounds at Tour Pro. How could I have ranked up?
