Welcome to the final tournament of the Season folks! It's been a really fun ride scheduling for you guys and besides some hiccups here and there, I hope I provided a fun and varied season for you all to enjoy. After this week's course there will be a short break before the start of the next season, details of the exact start date are not set in stone yet so stay tuned. There is no requalification this time around (as there is no new game) so expect to put your plat boots back on and start where you left off! I would also like to welcome mattyfromcanada as he is officially joining me as co-scheduler for next season, so feel free to pile the blame directly on him whenever there is a scheduling mishap or a course you didn't like as I now have a lovely scapegoat(from canada) to pin all the blame on. In all seriousness, he should help even more with providing a varied and most importantly fun plat season , we have some surprises up our sleeves that we cant wait to share! We make our last stand here, with only a few still remaining, at "Running Water" by mctrees02 : a reimagining of a major contest course by the name of Nekoosa Sand by mayday_golf83 The TGC19 version of this course was part of the same contest that brought us "Black Salt" and "Yokozuna" earlier in the Plat season, a major contest meant to produce courses that can challenge the best of the best, and that continues here. While we havent had a Mctrees course yet this year in plat (the other schedulers beat me to them!), we have had a mayday course in the name of Avondale American earlier in the year. Both of these guys know how to make a challenge, and seeing as only the best of plat are left standing, I thought it appropriate that we ended here on a BANG. Good Luck this week and hope to see you guys next season!

I liked this course it seemed difficult but fair but that might also be because the conditions was a little bit easier then they sometimes can be in plat. I lost my swing in the last round but I don’t think that was the course fault

Had to get all my rounds in last night due to work schedule so lack of practice didn’t really help my cause but still just didn’t have my A game. I think -28 finish, I just know I was quite a way back of the leader on PS4 at the time. Tough course, really had to think about shaping and flighting your shots into those pins (even then they still didn’t finish close 😂) Happy with my first full season on TGC, starting out in CC-A and as of last week breaking into the top 10 WGR. Looking forward to next season already! Good luck to everyone this week and will keep an eye out for who’s announced as the Tour Champion 🏆 Edit: Also want to shoutout Loveskud for being the new No1 in the WGR 🎉

In with the PS4 clubhouse lead for now. Had a really strong R3/4. See how it goes, parred a handful of par 5s and didn’t play amazing R1/2 so definitely left some out there.

I saved my best for last, but will I finish it? -33 through 3, in the lead after 3. Ran out of mental energy to keep pushing through. My heart couldn't take it. I was just on fire with every read. Feels amazing to culminate with this. I just hope I can focus for the last round and give myself a chance to win!

I was really surprised to even be playing this week, but still hoped to make a decent showing. Unfortunately, my luck at the tempo roulette table was awful and I'll be fighting to not finish last this week. Guess I still have to be happy that I can even make cuts after the nerf. Good luck to those in the hunt this week!

I did everything I could. Bogey might end up costing me very badly. But -9 on that round was incredibly tough. If I win, I feel I will deserve it at least. Great way to end the season even if I lose to Polak/Sloaner/Booze who all have a reasonably strong chance to take down -42.
Was amazing though. Proud of what I achieved at the end of this season. To grind up from never playing the series to top 30 in the world and competing for wins....What an incredible season.

I can't believe it. Finally happened. Just incredible. So many well wishes and praise on twitter and here, even in the middle of the pro swing drama bomb. What a journey.
So many people showed up to the final round stream and it was just crazy. Everyone cheering every birdie. Marveling at the shots. Keeping my head in it when I hit that bogey. It was an experience, and then getting to see polak's last 2 rounds as he tried to match me. Just scenes. He pars the par 5 and I could start celebrating after he made it close with some incredible putts and chips on the back 9. The par 3 doesn't end in hole in one and I just exploded in glee.
Thanks everyone, it was a pleasure. Missed cuts. Struggles with tempo. Confidence issues. Switching platforms. Putting paranoia. But then it came together finally.
Tour Champion on masters feels amazing. I'll be here regardless of the changes so can't wait til next season y'all and see you on the ps societies in the meantime!
