1. California
2. North Carolina
3. Florida
(complete supposition on my part although I'm pretty sure California leads by a ways.)

Just a rudimentary sort by state search of what I thought would likely be the top contenders (*players with 2018 tournaments played in MPO only*...made for easier counting without MP40/MP50 duplicates):
California...29
North Carolina...9
Florida...8
Texas...8
Oregon...7
Colorado...6
Minnesota...6
Tennessee...5
Virginia...5
Georgia...5

What do they put in the drinking water in California? I want some of that. 
But seriously, are the courses played that much different than the other states, or promotion of the sport. Any ideas why they have 3 times the 1,000 rated players.

Not all of us are touring pros. Im lucky that I got to play 1 tournament this year.
Okay, so apparently Massachusetts has zero 1000 rated players? That would explain why I have not stumbled over them everywhere here.
I am on my way to play a round right now, and probably will not see anyone above 940 rated. The bright side is that I might not see more than 6 people out there during the round. Lots of room for growth.

I kind of thought the same at first. I looked up populations and calculated per capita.
Code:
State 2018 Population Ranked Per million
players inhabitants
California 39,776,830 29 0.73
Texas 28,704,330 8 0.28
Florida 21,312,211 8 0.38
Georgia 10,545,138 5 0.47
North Carolina 10,390,149 9 0.87
Virginia 8,525,660 5 0.59
Tennessee 6,782,564 5 0.74
Colorado 5,684,203 6 1.06
Minnesota 5,628,162 6 1.07
Oregon 4,199,563 7 1.67Maybe I want what Oregon has instead of California.
They're just baggers that moved from California...

From here https://www.pdga.com/players/stats it looks like there are 188 1000 rated players in the US (I saw two were duplicates) and there are 328 million people estimated in US in 2018 to give a per capita of 0.573 1000 rated players per million people or 1 per 1.745 million.

Washington has more than every state except California, and is also up there with Oregon in per capita, yet doesn't seem to be thought of as one of the contenders. Why is that? Is it because of the lack of big name touring players? Lack of big events in the state?
WA has 13 @ 1000 and up to 1023. Just putting it out there for the record. Have no idea on the other question nor if it's true.
