Hey all,

Does anyone know or taken the time to figure out how many rounds are used to calculate one's average score. I've played at least 40 rounds as a pro, yet my average will move 1 or 2 strokes sometimes with a decent round or moderately poor round. That's too much of a change if all 40 rounds were averaged together. I'm guessing the last 6 - 8 rounds are used. Anyone know for sure?

You can do a search for that, it may have better information, but i think it is the last 14 rounds played. With the last top ten more so than the last 4. Something close to that!

Thanks for the response claremoreblue. That would sound about right. I'll see if I can find an official equation somewhere in the threads. Appreciate you taking the time to answer back.

See here... i think this is pretty close. I know it's a shameless plug... but what can you do?

I can't find the link right now but I believe it goes like this.

Your average is based on the best ten of your last 14 rounds with the last three rounds locked in. That is why you see your average jump if you shoot a really bad round because it does not get dumped until you play three more rounds.

*edit* LINK There is the official WGT explanation.

AvatarLee has a much more in depth formula.

A little help from the FAQ never hurt:

'What is my Average Score?

Your Average Score is the weighted average of your ten best out of your last fourteen stroke play scores (Practice rounds are not included). Your most recent scores are weighted more heavily to ensure there is no "sandbagging".'

How they are weighted? Not a clue. But AvatarLee's link may help with that.
