The difference between the different tours

[jisgator]

I apologize if this is covered in another thread but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Could someone please explain the differences between the Platinum, Elite, Kinetic, and Challenge Circuit tours? When you go through the Qualifying Pool do you enter 1 of the tours, then move through the ranks, as it were? I play in career mode, started out on amateur setting and am increasing the difficulty as I improve. Are all of the tours only for people who can play on master settings?

Thanks

Yes, all the tours in TGCTours are played using Master settings. There are different things to make the CC tours less difficult than the "pro" tours, like the wind meter and a few other things, as well as more difficult courses, wind velocities, very firm fairways and greens.

You can have some idea if you could play on the Tour by checking what the cut-line is for the CC-L tour.

Each level is much harder than the one below it. In the CC tours, the higher you go, the better the players, which results in the cuts being much tougher.
