Fourteen
different
statistical tables
published each
Monday morning,
including ratings,
for events across 13
different Tours
(link)
-
These tables are
customisable -
this allows the
user to
re-calibrate the
various tables
so that they
display up 15
weeks (or 15
years for the
course form
tables) of data
rather than
standard 8 weeks
/ 5 years. The
scoring averages
and ranks are
recalculated
with each change
in the sample
period.
-
Each player has
a one-page
summary of
performances
(scoring,
statistical and
strokes gained)
over the past
six months and
performances on
that week's
course and
country/U.S.
State since
1996.
-
Generate your
own ratings -
this feature
allows the user
to generate
their own
ratings for any
event for any
set of players.
-
In-running
statistical analysis
for each player
according to 35
different
statistical
categories updated
at the end of each
round for every PGA
and European Tour
event (link)
-
These are
updated after
the conclusion
of each round
on the PGA Tour
and hourly on
the European
Tour and provide
highly detailed
information on
how each player
is performing
and so is useful
for in-running
and daily
fantasy golf markets.
-
There is also
detailed data on
hole averages
for both single-
and
multiple-course
events, and a
breakdown of
scoring patterns
in the morning
and afternoon
sessions in the
first two rounds
of each event.
-
Customisable
statistical
categories (up to 37
in total) for all 13
Tours covered on
this site (link)
-
Not only do
various golf
Tours not make
these stats
categories
available
themselves, but
the main golf
Tours do not
publish some of
these stats
categories. For
example, the
European Tour
won't publish
"par-4 scoring
average" data,
but they can
be found at
Tour-Tips.
-
When the golf
Tours publish
this data on
their official
web sites, it is
available only
on a season-only
basis - this
means that the
data is of
limited use in
the first few
months of the
season - and
only full Tour
members are
included in
these stats
categories. On
Tour-Tips, the
user can select
'12 months', '6
months', '3
months' or
'calendar year'
as the sample
period and the
stats categories
includes all
players who have
competed a
minimum number
of rounds over
that period.
-
An individual
profile page for
thousands of players
across 13 different Tours (link)
-
Each player
profile page
provides: (i)
their
biographical
information;
(ii) their
results and
stats over the
last three
months; (ii) a
detailed
breakdown for
the player
according to
each 'Keith
Elliott Golf
Form Symbol';
(iv) a full
comparison of
the player
performances in
different
locations,
months of the
year and across
differing
tournament
strengths; and
(v) links to
recent online
articles about
them.
-
A
tournament profile
page for events
across 13 different
Tours (link)
-
Each enhanced
tournament
profile page
provides: (i)
detailed course
information, a
list of the last
10 winners and
winning scores,
weather forecast
data, and
pre-set
head-to-head
database queries
for each player
in the field;
(ii) a full
listing of all
players within
the field that
has a local
connection
(country or U.S.
State) to the
event location,
either via their
birthplace,
residence or
college; (iii) a
full statistical
breakdown of the
last five years
of the
tournament
(containing
sections such as
the 'previous
current form and
course form of
the top-5' for
each year, the
'top-5 in each
statistical
category' for
each year, 'hole
averages' for
each year, and
so on); and (iv)
links to recent
online articles
about the event.
-
-
Twenty-eight
pre-determined
database queries for
the Men's and
Ladies' Tours, run
on databases that
contain results and
stats for almost
10,000 events and
over 4 million
rounds of Tour golf
since 1996 (link)
-
These involve
not only queries
on player's
scores according
to event, course
or location, but
also their
individual event
stats and there
is also the
option to
display the
database results
via charts
rather via
tables of data.
-
There are also
queries to
compare two and
three players in
head-to-head
formats and a
query on how
specified
players have
performed when
in the same
playing group,
again with the
option to
display the
results as
charts.

Tour-Tips is an online
statistical resource for the study of professional golf. On the 'data' site
here, there are details of the
customisable Excel formsheets that give a statistical preview of any Tour event
and are received via email at the start of the week, and there are details of
the data files that are available for purchase which provide a full statistical
breakdown of all Tour events since 1996. Betfair historical odds for 'win
markets' on a per-20-second basis for the PGA &
European Tours are available as a free add-on for
all subscribers to the data files on the 'data'
site. On the main tour-tips.com site,
there are resources available online to study past events and preview current
events. Full details are given below.
Stats for every player in
each Tour event are produced on Monday morning each so that there is plenty
of time for people to research each Tour event before they start. Thereafter,
betting tips will be posted on the site for each Tour event. In most cases,
these will be on Tuesday or Wednesday each week once sufficient odds have been published,
though previews and tips for PGA and European Tour events will typically be posted
on Mondays or Tuesdays as there is usually little value left in these markets by Wednesday.
For all the stats and betting tips each week, check the
'page updates' box on the
right for the most recent updates. Betting Previews
For PGA and European Tour (including co-sanctioned) events, there will be
detailed previews
provided. These previews will provide the background information to the
event as well as betting tips. However, these previews will draw upon the past
stagings of the event and on the course to identify key statistical angles to consider when
looking to find a winner in these events.
Stats Analysis
For
events on the 13 mains Tours, there will be a full statistical analysis of each player in that week's
field. This involves summaries for the five different 'strokes gained'
categories, current form, location form, long-term form, statistical
form, two measures of course form and two measures of course compatibility, plus
there is an overall index [Tour-Tips ratings] that brings this analysis together.
This stats analysis will be updated in stages during
the week. Once the previous week's events are
finished, the full range of stats tables will be published on Monday mornings for the
coming week's events, while these tables will then be updated throughout the
next few days with changes in the field.
But the stats analysis does not end there. At the end of
each round on the PGA Tour and at one-hour intervals on the European Tour, there will be
35 in-running stats
tables published that analyse the performance of the players in different
categories. These are invaluable for daily betting and daily fantasy golf
markets. At
Tour-Tips, you will also find profiles of each player on the 13 main Tours that will
present a series of statistical analyses for that player, as well as
'psychological angles' (ref. Keith Elliott),
profiles of each tournament on the 13 main Tours that provide an analyses of
how the event has been won (or lost) in the last five years and you will also find customisable Tour Stats for
all 13
Tours covered on Tour-Tips. Golf Odds
For both
the PGA Tour and the European Tour, there an
analysis of the Betfair win market which is
updated every 20 minutes from the start of the
week on Monday to the end of the tournament on
Sunday. This enable you to track the Betfair odds
price of every player both before and during the
tournament.
There are also links to the relevant page on the odds comparison
site, OddChecker, for the outright odds
for each Tour event, as well as links to Betfair's 'winner' market odds for each event. The books listed
on the OddsChecker site are almost exclusively British, but this is not
a significant restriction as each-way betting is the primary focus of outright
betting at Tour-Tips. Picks Archive & Betting Record
All betting tips, stats tables and odds are archived each
week and these are fully searchable via the 'Archive' link in each Tour toolbar. The
archived tips date back to the inauguration of this site for the start of the 2000 season, so it is easy to find out what has
been written about an event in previous years.
Golf Database
Two fully searchable databases are available that cover all the men's and
ladies' professional Tours. Features include basic scores, 'strokes gained', 'adjusted scores', positions
by round and shots behind leaders, plus player stats per event on the primary Tours.
More recently added database queries include the ability to search player performance
relative to weather conditions, relative to other players in final-round
contention, by comparison with how many weeks' rest or consecutive action, and
there is a 'top players' query as well. There is also the facility to compare how two players have fared against each
other by using the head-to-head database search. This should be particularly
relevant for matchup betting.
Live
Scores
The
links for live scoring are updated each week, so finding the current leaderboard
for any event has never been easier. If you've any suggestions to improve the
site, don't keep them to yourself, let us know.
Have a profitable season and
we hope you enjoy the
site!
