    As far as i am concerned:

     

    Hack: Very Slow
    Amateur: Slow
    Pro: Standard
    Tour Pro: Fast
    Master: Very Fast
    Tour Master: Tournament
    Legends: Championship

    When playing with other players, the green speed will default to the green speed for the highest-tiered player in the group. For example, if two Amateurs and one Tour Pro player are playing in a group, the green speed will be "Fast" based on the Pro player default speed.

    Okay. I dont have any problems between very fast and legend greens. I am tour master and i have found it very accurate to adjust most putts with about 10% and its nearly perfect.

    On 20 FT putts on a flat very fast green i will give about 18 on the meter.

    On 20 FT putts on a flat tournament green i will give about 16 on the meter.

    On 20 FT putts on a flat legend-tournament green i will give about 13-14 on the meter.

    I dated this Norwegian girl a hundred years ago. She wanted me to move to Norway and live on her fjord with her family. Upon further questioning, it turned out that life would not be all that simple.

    It turns out her family owned a farm and she had designs on me as potential free farm labor.

    When I asked about the night life and she told me there were bars you could go to, but that was generally too much trouble because of the snow and walruses and what not, so most people just made their own booze and drank at home alone.

    As a joke, I asked if they had cars in Norway. Rightfully, she got very upset and offended by my backhandedly calling her a fjord-hick. The smile went away and, in all seriousness and huffiness, she told me, "Of course we have a car."

    Then she added, "...but it doesn't run, so we pull it with the horses."

    She was a beautiful girl and if all I had to do was drink bathtub gin in a car pulled by the Budweiser clydesdales, I probably would have gone for it (She was that beautiful), but the deal breaker was her complete lack of a sense of humor.

    (I'm kind of drunk right now)

    I'm sorry to disagree:

    Hack, Amateur: Standard

    Pro: Fast

    Tour Pro: Very Fast

    Been there, done that.

    TheTigerEye:
    Master: Very Fast
    Tour Master: Tournament

    Legends: Championship

    Others may confirm these...

    Agreed.

    the green speed will be "Very Fast" based on the Tour Pro player default speed.

    Legends putt on Normal Tournament speed and slower Tournament Speed. We Don't know which one until we start Putting.

    We only Putt on Championship Greens in Certain Comps that is specified when you enter the Tournament and I think there is different Champ speed greens too....lol.

    This is what I was referring too. Legends used to get the first kind of tournament speed greens along with the faster kind on some rounds, but now for Legends, it is just the faster kind of tournament speed greens. This is why I say WGT may have sorted it because I haven't played on the the first kind (TM) speed in several days now.

    Are you all sure there is 2 kind of Tourney green speeds??  I've never noticed it but maybe I don't pay nearly as much attention to detail as some of you!  Or is this another overanalysis/conspiracy theory?

    It's a fact. Alosso is very wrong, too.

    Championship greens are faster than Legend Tournament.
