When I introduced my tier system, I don't think I mentioned I'm just doing this on an experimental level to see where it goes. Perry proved the flexibility of the tiers by moving up a tier without playing. Harrington's move up a tier was less surprising since he placed 3rd in Scotland last week. Colin Montgomerie's move to 16th in world rankings wasn't quite enough to meet the requirements for my list.
