This page contains links to all the database queries available on Tour-Tips. These queries search databases that contain results and stats for over 10,000 events and over 4 million rounds of Tour golf since 1996. There is the opportunity to combine database queries so that performances across two different events, courses or locations can be compared. Wildcard and Boolean operators can also be used in these queries. The ability to copy and paste the database results or download the results as a csv file is available only to those with a Full subscription. Details of each database query is given below.

 

Basic
This query reports finishing position and scores according to the selections for event, course, location, tour and/or players.

 

Head-to-Head
This query reports the performance of two players when they have competed in the same event.

To help with the selection of active players, you can choose the Tour from a drop-down list and that will display the list of players competing in that Tour's latest event. Selecting two players' names will produce their head-to-head database query result.

 

Strokes Gained
