Just a reminder that those who don't qualify for a Pro Tour will be evenly spaced throughout the Challenge Circuit flights. So if fewer than 2250 score +100 or better, fewer than 150 players will be on each CC flight. As of right now, 2156 have played all 8 rounds. 2.5 hours left, but that would be 142 per flight if the same number of flight. 155 per flight if they drop one flight. That 2156 number is including people who shot worse than +100 though. Those need to be removed since you needed +100 or better to earn a tour card. There's about 150 who were worse than +100 with 8 rounds completed

I’m not sure as I haven’t seen the offending shot...but I suspect that the player hit a driver off the tee that took a few bounces and then rolled in the hole. If I remember it would have been more than a few bounces, but I got lucky and stayed dry for an eagle chip of 5 yards. You only had to carry it about 280 and it would roll right up, but major risk going at the hole. The play was the greenside bunker easy birdie. Sadly, I hit the flag off the tee and went right into the water.

That is 131 per flight if they stick with the current number of flights, or 143 with one less flight (or 157 if 2 less flights).

I really have nothing better to do so here's another refresh as of about 6:45pm 2,049 have played 8 rounds and scored +100 or better. That leaves us with 133.25 per flight in CC. A few flights shifted by one stroke but pretty much the same as 5pm, as expected. The best score without 8 full rounds is -61 (T33) with a 63, 60, and three 58s posted. Get those last couple rounds in! My deepest sympathy goes to the 5 folks who have played 8 rounds and finished at +101. Maybe better luck next week in Q-School

Maybe better luck next week in Q-School If it ends now the top two of -37 get into platinum. I really like how the leader board now sorts by the tie breaker rules.

It looks to me like I finished 452nd when the DNFs are removed which is pretty darn painful.
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note don't we think each pro field should be 155 to account for the inevitable handful of people who won't participate for one reason or another each week?
I kid, CC-A it is and the challenge to earn my spot back into the pros the old-fashioned way.

I think I counted 4 Platinum level players, 5 Elite level players, and 14 Kinetec level players that were unable to complete their rounds. Very unfortunate. I'm guessing once they are removed, the "next in line" will simply move up to fill any vacancies? Just being curious.
Edit: I guess once I look at it a little closer, there are multiple people tied for the last spot in each of the pro tours. So I'm guessing removing the respective scores for those that were unable to finish won't necessarily change much, at least at the pro tour level. All speculation, of course. lol

All speculation, of course. lol Yeah once those 5 elite players are eliminated that leaves 2 or 3 people that can move up into the Platinum level. Tiebreaker rules are in effect. I think i'm 5th in the tiebreaker so the three who finished the best with tiebreakers at -37 would get into Platinum. The rest would be in Elite. Same with the other tours. Tiebreakers can hurt fair.
Here I come Elite! ( I think!)

Here's what I got from the latest leaderboard I copied in at 9:30pm EDT, so it should be final. 2,067 players at +100 or better with all 8 rounds completed. Not really sure how exactly they'll split up the CC tours, but I've got two possibilities here with 135 in each of A-K and 132 in L, or 134 in A-K and 143 in L. Just my guesses.

Who knows, all speculation at this point.

And actually, since it's in the correct order on the website then I pretty much have the official tour rosters for the Pro tours. With CC we'll have to see how many golfers get into each flight. But if anyone was on the cut line or unsure and wants me to look you up, shoot me a message or reply here. If you're on the borderline for a CC flight I can give you some details on that. Some info like "with 135 per flight you'll be in B and with 140 per flight you'll be in A" Edit: to include the more recent screenshot

Here are my updated stats after R8. This includes all those that have finished 8 rounds; revises the positions to remove those that have not completed their rounds; and properly allocates duplicate names. Even after removing the Top 150 (that are mostly freakishly good PS4 players) and those with scores greater than +100, the XB1 scores are significantly higher than the other averages. Evangelist (E2) was even worse for XBoxers than Whiskey (E1), although I'm sure there was quite a bit of "fork it and let's just finish" in those scores. I note that the standard deviations are similar across the platforms, which implies to me that the whole bell curve gets shifted upwards for XB1 i.e. it is harder or we are all bit more rubbish!

Who knows, all speculation at this point. I am "remembering" that is how it was done two years ago for TGC2019. But my memory isn't the best, so we shall see.
