  That's because his one round after the reset of the avg was a 36 for nine holes.

  Haha, I sat here looking at that for a while thinking "But how would a 72 advance him to TC?"

  It's been so long since I changed tier I forgot about averages going up as well as down  : ))

  I probably would have been puzzled by it as well if I hadn't noticed my own average going up after playing a round just now :)

  Love wolf creek. Don't love that i'm now a tour champion. Has anyone gone long of the 5th yet. I had a 10ft putt downhill and missed. It rolled down the slope right off the front of the green and left myself a 30yd pitch.

  I wonder what the criteria is.....

  Whatever it is the bar looks to be set very low, looks to be 55 with the higher averages having played.

  Many notable absentees too, probably people are only added when they log in and it's going to be a long list.

  I got the promotion as soon as I finished my 1st WC round.

  I love the course!!

  Rolled my 2nd up to 1ft on #5 (almost an albo)

  Haven't played any more to see if average changes. Hope it does ;-)

  Gotta hit the sack

  I just had a quick look at our new Tour Champions and there's someone on page 1 with a 72 average!

  That's because his one round after the reset of the avg was a 36 for nine holes.

  I think WGT missed a chance here to create a true elite tier for a small number of players. It doesn't change anything except there are now two tiers (Champion + TL) who will be short on talent and number of players while the Tour Champion tier is simply the old Champion tier with a new label. Basically WGT doubled down on the mistake they made with the ongoing existence of the TL tier which is of no use to anyone. 

  But on the plus side: The new course is great. Fun to play and a unique addition to the existing courses. Thanks!

  Agree 100%! Get this right now WGT because this will bite you for a long time if you don`t.

  That was a hoot! So worth the wait. That will quickly become a new favorite.

  I see there is a "Welcome To Wolf Creek" Tournament. I made the mistake of not signing up for it before playing a round. (I didn't see it until after) After being moved to TC, I am not eligible to play. Will they make a version of this for Tour Champion, or am I just SOL on this one? Anyone have an idea?

  Edit : He is now. I stand corrected. Some attained TC sooner than the others for some reason...
