SUBSCRIPTION FEATURES

• Eleven different statistical tables published each Monday morning, including ratings, for every Tour event (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.

  • Generate your own ratings - this feature allows the user to generate their own ratings for an event by entering their own parameters for six key variables in the ratings model. See how the ratings would change if greater weight were to be put on course form rather than current form, for example, and so create a set of ratings that closer reflects your ideas about golf form.

   

• In-running statistical analysis for each player according to 28 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 and provide highly detailed information on how each player is performing and so is useful for in-running 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 the PGA, European, Champions, LPGA, Australasian, Nationwide, Southern Africa, Asian PGA, Japan, European Senior and Ladies European Tours. In fact, the only Tour covered on Tour-Tips for which these 'Tour Stats' are not available is the European Challenge Tour (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  • Not only do various golf Tours not make these stats categories available themselves, but the main golf Tours do not publish some of these stats categories.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 PGA Tour won't publish "1st scoring average" data and 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 calendar-year 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 over 1,000 players on the PGA, European, Champions and LPGA 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.

   

• An enhanced tournament profile page for each PGA, European, Champions and LPGA Tour event and a limited tournament profile page for every other Tour event (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.

  • For all other Tour events, the tournament profile page provides pre-set head-to-head database queries for each player in the field and links to recent online articles about the event.

   

• Twenty-seven different pre-determined database queries for the Men's and Ladies' Tours, run on databases that contain results and stats for almost 7,000 events and over 3 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.
     

• Odds comparison pages for each Tour event devoted solely to 72-hole tournament matchups, 18-hole two-ball matchups, and 18-hole three-ball matchups, which display not only the matches and the odds at each bookie, but, for the PGA, European, Champions and LPGA Tours, also the head-to-head stats for the players in each matchup (link)

  • These odds comparison pages are updated automatically once per hour to ensure that the odds are up-to-date and feature the odds from 24 different bookies that have a significant golf section.

  • While there are plenty of odds comparison sites that cover outright markets in golf, no site comes close to having such a comprehensive odds comparison service in relation to golf match betting.
