Becoming a Master/Pro/Etcetera

  So, as far as my research took me, here is what I found... "You must play Ranked stroke play rounds or Stroke Play tournament rounds to change your tier. Our calculation takes your ten best out of your most recent fourteen scores and applies a weighted index to determine your tier." Now my question is, what is the average that I must attain to become a Master? I was thinking it was based on my awards, or my top ten finnishes, do these not even factor in? Inquiring minds need to know....

  Only the average score is relevant, as you quoted it. The threshold might nowadays be at around 66.5 or so.

  If I'm not mistaken, its also having you're avg below that 66.5 threshold when the game cycles overnight, which I believe is like 12 or 1 am PST.

  I made master recently after a round of 63 took my average from 66.36 to 65.59. So it should be somewhere between those two numbers.

  Thanks for your help guys, made Master in two days. I was 66.11 then played one of my better 9 Unlimited play rounds (between 11:45 and 12:10 est) which put me to 65.21 (also in second place..woohoo) and when I was done. I was a Master (finnaly!) Cheers from Canada eh!
