Golf Betting Tips – 2019 Season Review

With Rory McIlroy being crowned the winner of the Tour Championship last week, advised here at 9/1, the traditional PGA Tour season has come to an end for another year.


Golf Betting Tips - 2019 Season Review

The season got off to a flying start with Xander Schauffele grabbing the W at the season opening Tournament of Champions for us at 25/1. We then had consecutive runners up (Putnam at 66/1 in the Sony Open & Hadwin at 28/1 in the Desert Classic) who both traded odds on in the closing 9 holes of the tournament.

If our season started well, it finished even stronger. Our golf tipster nailed a remarkable FOUR winners (11/1, 14/1, 50/1, 9/1) of the closing five events on the tour. The event he missed? Well he had the runner up for good measure.

In all we tipped 6 winners in 2019. Backing all our headline tips recorded a +14.4% ROI and +£64.35 to a £5 stake.

Our biggest priced placed golfers this season were Glover 140/1 & Connors 160/1 - coincidentally both in the BMW Championship.

Adding a level stakes outright win only & outright lay bet on each of our 'follow' & 'oppose' golfers took our total profit to £597.50 (to £5 stakes) - our best overall annual performance since 2012. 

Most of the profits came on the lay side of the ledger. From the 142 golfers we recommended opposing in 2019, we only laid one winner - Justin Rose at 14/1.

So it was yet another thoroughly enjoyable season for our Golf tipster, who will return the first week of January with the 2020 Tournament of Champions.

PGA Tour Golf Tips: 2018 Review

We've been publishing golf tips since 2012 and have made an overall profit every single year. With the 2019 season now just two weeks away, we've taken a look back at our results from 2018.

Billy Horschel (100/1) - The Northern TrustPLACED
Tiger Woods (12/1) - Tour ChampionshipWON
Fran Molinari (22/1) - Top Ryder Cup Points ScorerWON

As you can see, it was a heady year with many, many highlights. The team published exactly 100 tips in total, and backing each one for £5 would have returned a £747.78 profit.

The profit came at a remarkable Return on Investment of 102% (£10.10 returned for every £5 staked).

Alongside our traditional outright tournament winner tips we also have a 'Five to Follow' system. Each event we publish five golfers to follow and five golfers to oppose. The idea is to use these to find wagers on markets like 72 hole match bets, top 10s, miss cut etc - to whatever suits your personal preference and bookmaker offering.

To keep track of these tips we record all the 'follow' golfers as a 1pt win, and the 'oppose' golfers as a 1pt lay.

In 2018 the 'Five to Follow' system made £237.50 profit to £5 bets - a seventh annual profit in a row.

After opposing three winners early on our tipster fought back and ended up in profit for both his follow and oppose lists.

Combining the two would have yielded a profit of £985.28 profit (to £5 bets) - not bad for 8 months work.


The 2019 Season

The focus of our golf tipping service is on the PGA Tour and the Majors.

The PGA Tour kicks up a gear in two weeks with the Tournament of Champions - and this is when our tipster will get his season underway.
