i had this posted in another thread recently. This is my personal experience and it demonstrates 3 different ways that I have tiered up. only one of which was the chart posted.
This is a copy paste:
"in regards to my numbers understand that I avoid red tee tourneys unless its a custom course. Mainly because i didn't want to artificially increase the pace at which I tier up.
I went from Master to Tour Master by winning a Ready go. I don't have the numbers for that one.
I went from TM to Legend the same way. the average was 61.94 and 203 RR.
I hit saturation for legend at 1060 Ranked Rounds. so for me it took 857 rounds. 357 had to have been par 3s par 5s or custom courses.
after that it took another 313 rounds to drop it low enough to Tier up to Tour Legend. Hit TL with 1373 RRs
around this time i go from about half mobile to half PC time to playing coin games almost exclusively and really cut down on the ranked rounds that I was playing which was already a low pace compared to most.
7 months later I Hit Champion with 1442 Total Ranked Rounds. So...I only had 69 ranked rounds at the time between TL and Champion.
So it's not all about Ranked Rounds. multitude of ways to tier.
personally my advice is to not rush it like most do. there is zero benefit to it. let it happen when it happens. "
