DATA
FILES
As with the databases used on the main Tour-Tips sites, these files
cover all the primary Tours since 1996, numbering over 5000 events and
over 2 million rounds of golf. As well as being able to download rather
than merely query, the primary differences between these data files and
those on the main Tour-Tips site are:
- Individual round statistics (e.g. DD, GIR, PPR, Par3 scores, Par4
scores, etc.) rather than tournament average statistics on all the main
Tours: since 2004 for the PGA Tour, since 2005 for the European Tour
(though such round-by-round data for this Tour will be incorporated into
the datafiles shortly dating back to 1999), Champions, Nationwide and
Japan Tours. Several other Tours are available from later years.
- Player scorecard data for each Tour event on the European Tour since
1999 and on the PGA,
Champions, Nationwide and Japan Tours since 2005, though the data files
will be updated shortly to include all scorecard data for the PGA Tour
since 2001).
- Bi-hourly weather data for every round in each PGA, European, Champions
and LPGA Tour event since 2004.
- Results from non-Tour events such as Q-Schools on the four main Tours
and the end of year events such as the Nedbank Challenge and the Chevron World Challenge.
The data files are organised into a Master file which is available for
download and Weekly Update files which are available for download by 4am
UK time each Monday.
A sample of this data file for a single event is available to download
here. [If unable to open the file, use
the trial version of
Winrar]
There are three levels of subscription to the data files: a subscription
to receive the master files and/or weekly update files for one tour
(choice of either PGA plus WGC or European incl. co-sanctioned events);
for both the PGA and European Tour data together; and for all Tours in
the database (currently 17 in total).
The prices:
One tour - Master file = £1000; Weekly Update file = £5/week or
£150/year.
Two tours - Master file = £1500; Weekly Update file = £7.50/week or
£225/year
Three tours - Master file = £2000; Weekly Update file = £10/week or
£300/year

WEEKLY
FORMSHEETS
These formsheets are best viewed as more detailed alternatives (or even
complements) to the Event Stats tables on the main Tour-Tips site. As
such, they are Excel spreadsheets which display relevant statistical
information about each player for any particular event and a standard
template would include:
- A one-page display of current and course form for each player,
consisting of a summary of each player's finishing positions over the
last three months broken down by week and clearly marked to indicate the
event/Tour and the player's finishing positions on the course (or in the
event, if different) since 1996.
- A summary of each player's ranking in the key statistical categories
on the Tour of interest (now includes world
rankings).
- Detailed results and stats in separate worksheets for staging of the
event since 1996 or for each occasion that the course has been used
since 1996.
The above is only a standard template. There is the ability to customise
these formsheets to the user's preferences in terms of results/stats to
be displayed. There is no shortage of golf stats, so it is merely a
matter of deciding how best it should be displayed to make player
analysis easier.
The weekly formsheets are not available for download due to the desire
to provide a customised product, but are sent out via email by 10am UK
time each Monday.
A sample of this weekly formsheet for a single event is available to
download here.
There is the ability to subscribe to one week's formsheets via the
online payment screen for any of that week's events. However, for longer
term subscriptions to the formsheets, contact
Stanley@tour-tips.com
for details of other payment or invoicing methods that may be more
appropriate.
The prices:
For one week: £25 for the 1st event formsheet; £20 for the 2nd event
formsheet; and £15 for each subsequent event formsheets. Contact Stanley
for details of longer-term arrangements.
There are also significant discounts available for people who would only
use these formsheets for personal and not commercial use. Contact
Stanley for details. |
