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.

Do touring pros really have a home?
because they have 3 times the population...

I kind of thought the same at first. I looked up populations and calculated per capita.

Maybe I want what Oregon has instead of California.

What the per capita for the whole USA?
Not all of us are touring pros. Im lucky that I got to play 1 tournament this year.
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

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?
