  I could be wrong but I think you need to lower  your average to 65

  Your average score needs to be equal to or lower than 67.

  Your scoring average is adjusted if you win ready-go and match play games.

  WGT instituted the feature to combat players that deliberately manipulated their scoring average to avoid moving to a higher tier (sand bagging).

  WGT – Tiers

  • When you have played at least 5 ranked rounds - and your average score is equal to or lower than 100 you go from Hack to Amateur.
  • When you have played at least 10  ranked rounds - and your average score is equal to or lower than 80 you go from Amateur to Pro.
  • When you have played at least 20 ranked rounds - and your average score is equal to or lower than 72 you go from Pro to Tour Pro
  • When you have played at least 30 ranked rounds - and your average score is equal to or lower than 67 you go from Tour Pro to Master
  • When you have played at least 40  ranked rounds - and your average score is equal to or lower than 63 you go from Master to Tour Master
  • When you have played at least 50 ranked rounds - and your average score is equal to or lower than 61 you go from Tour Master to Legend 
  • When you have played at least 500  ranked rounds - and your average score is equal to or lower than 60 you go from Legend  to Tour Legend

   

  Notice that those minimal number of ranked rounds are also the number of best rounds used to compute your average in that particular tier. So if you are Tour Master for example, your average is computed with your best 50 ranked round (that's why you need at least 50 rounds to move up).

  From what I've read on the forums, I believe that saturation is 25 rounds and not 30 at Tour Pro tier.
  
  While I've seen both stated, the consensus seems to be 25.

  True, and it's more than a belief!

  Made the calc with the OP's scores. He has 44 TP rounds, nice and easy to perform the maths on.

  The average of his best 25 scores is 69.60 as shown in his profile, while the
  30 scores average would be 70.33.

  This is proof that the saturation number for Tour Pros is 25 scores.

  Unfortunately, these errors will be c&p'd nontheless. In this copy is also missing

  When you have played at least 200  ranked rounds - and your average score is equal to or lower than 60 you go from Tour Legend to Champion.

  At last, let me point out that the number is counted from the scores in the particular tier only!

   

  @1Grandpa1:

  I notice that you have made good progress in scoring in the last 10 games. They are all sub-par, gradually going into the low 60s. Congrats! Now, any score below 37=74 will bring you closer to tier promotion!

  But, I also notice that you concentrate on KIA back 9.  I'd encourage you to try & learn the other courses, too, while you're still on the second tees.

  Master will bring you back to the third tees, making all courses more difficult. Thus, it won't hurt to use the given setting for some exploration of worldwide golf courses!

  Have fun, and enjoy the views!!
