PGA Profit – Full Review

PGA Profit is a long-running golf tipster that had amassed some exceptional results coming into our trial, with over 1200 points profit reportedly made. As the name suggests, it focuses on the PGA Tour (with recently some tips on the LIV Tour as well).

The service is run by a maths expert who uses various algorithms to give him an edge over the markets. He uses various statistics, such as driving distance, driving accuracy, putting average, G.I.R (greens in regulation percentage), strokes gained, ball striking, etc.

He also has over five years of data on each course on the PGA Tour and uses that build up a picture of the kind of player a course will suit and who is likely to thrive there.

Put that together with his detailed knowledge of all the players on tour and any meaningful personal events such as births, marriages, caddie changes etc and you have a very robust approach to taking on the golf markets.

That was the theory coming into our trial anyway.

Sadly though after 18 months of following the tips, the results during our trial went completely the other way to those prior to our trial, with a loss of 289 points made.

That equated to a loss of 58% of the bank and and a -25% return on investment, which is quite considerable.

The results are quite a dramatic reversal of form and illustrate what can happen to even the best of tipsters sometimes. Even using the same techniques and form study can lead to very different results as those seen previously.

Sometimes this can just be due to “natural variance” – or just really bad luck in simple terms.

Over a sustained period of 18 months as seen here though you have to wonder if something fundamental has changed in terms of the way the markets operate or the continuing viability of the methods used by the tipster.

We can only speculate on this and those questions are for the tipster to answer ultimately, but sadly it does mean that we have to award this service a FAILED rating at the end of our trial.

It is worth noting that the results prior to our trial (proofed elsewhere) showed over 1200 points profit, so overall they are still well up.

Having made a significant loss over the course of 18 months though it remains to be seen if the service can still be profitable in future. We will keep an eye on things and see if they can turn it around – a few big-priced winners can do that in golf betting.

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, usually with plenty of time to get the bets on. With just five bets per week on average it is a simple service to follow.

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice any discernible impact on prices after tips were sent out, with the PGA Tour normally having good liquidity.

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was low (even for a golf service) at 8%, which just reflects really that they didn’t hit enough winners during our trial.

Advised Betting Bank: A 500 point betting bank is recommended for following the service which seems reasonable, although 58% of it was lost during our trial so a larger betting bank could be considered.

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are quite high given the results achieved over the last 18 months, at £54 per month, £246 for 6 months or £418 per year.

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

We ran an 18 month trial of golf tipster PGA Profit and despite some excellent long-term results coming into our trial, sadly at the end of our review it finished 289 points down.

On that basis it can only be a FAILED rating unfortunately, although we will keep an eye on things to see if they can regain the form shown prior to our trial.

Just a note that this service was previously on the Betting Gods platform but is now tipping on its own stand-alone site.

We have given things a chance here in the hope they can turn it around with one or two big winners – as can happen in golf betting – but at some point will have to call it day if we don’t see a notable improvement soon.

This service hasn’t quite lived up to the very stellar long-term results it had posted prior to our trial, which is a shame.

However, 2023 is a new year so hopefully they can really get things going this year. And as we say so often with golf tipsters, it only takes one big winner to turn things around.

It’s been an extraordinarily up-and-down trial, with things swinging from positive to negative quite regularly.

Unfortunately the latest swing has been to the downside, with every tip since our last update losing.

There is just one official event left on the PGA Tour schedule this year so will be a little quiet before the action gets underway in earnest again in January, when hopefully they can get things moving to the upside again.

Golf tipster PGA Profit has bounced back nicely lately, with 68 points profit made since our last update.

The major improvement is thanks to Mackenzie Hughes, who captured the Sanderson Farms Championship at odds of 100/1.

As we have said in this trial and so often in other golf ones, just one winner can really turns things around. It requires patience to stick with a golf service sometimes when it is having a tough run, but those who stuck with this one have been richly rewarded.

There was a winner recently in the shape of Rory McIlroy at the Tour Championship at 9/1, but sadly that wasn’t enough to cancel out the recent losses.

The new PGA Tour season has just got underway so hopefully they can land a slightly bigger winner soon and get things moving back in the right direction.

As we say this trial has been very up and down, going over 100 points down at one stage before bouncing right back to being over 50 points up and now being down again.

Golf betting by its nature is highly volatile but this trial has been a wild ride even by golf’s standards!

In any event, overall they are only slightly down for our trial and one winner can make all the difference, so it’s still all to play for.

This trial has been something of a roller-coaster but it’s good to see them nicely in profit now and they keep banging on the door, with a few placed finishes since our last update.

Although the majors are finished for the year now after last week’s Open at St Andrews, there is still plenty of top class PGA Tour action to look forward to, including the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Hopefully PGA Profit can pick up a few more winners before the season’s over.

It illustrates once again the importance of having a large betting bank and a good deal of patience when following a golf tipster. Those who stuck with the tipster would have been rewarded in this case. Hopefully now he can push on and get into profit for our trial.

Fortunately the advised betting bank is 200 points with this service so there is some juice still left in the tank. And as mentioned previously there have been a few close shaves, with another one at the Arnold Palmer recently as Billy Horschel missed out by a shot at 55/1.

It goes without saying though that they could really do with a winner – let’s hope one arrives sooner rather than later.

Things could have looked very different for them though as they were very close to a winner at the Phoenix Open with Patrick Cantlay narrowly missing out in a playoff, having had makeable putts to win in normal time and extra holes.

That’s the way it goes sometimes unfortunately, but had one of those putts dropped they would be looking at an extra 42 points profit and be close to evens now for our trial.

There has been something of a reversal of fortunes for golf tipster PGA Profit lately, with a loss of 67 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 40 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

We often say with golf tipsters – and apologies to regular readers if we sound like a broken record on this – but it is to be expected to go on long losing runs when betting on golf. This is because the odds tipped at are very high so the strike rate is much lower than horse racing or football services for example.

So you need a big betting bank – 200 points is advised in this case – and a good deal of patience. When the winners do come though it can change everything round in an instant and be very rewarding. Let’s hope a winner is coming soon for this service.

The highlight so far was Hideki Matsuyama winning the Zozo Championship at 15/1 and there have been some placed finishes too.

As we remarked on one of our other golf reviews recently, things will be a bit quiet now as there’s no golf until the New Year but we’ll pick things up when the tour gets going again with the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January.

PGA Profit – New Review

25th October 2021

Today we are starting a new trial of golf tipster called PGA Profit.

This is a long-running service that has amassed some exceptional results and a formidable reputation.

He also has over five years of data on each course on the PGA Tour and uses that build up a picture of the kind of player a course will suit and who is likely to thrive there.

The results PGA Profit has achieved certainly back that up, with a phenomenal 1200 points profit made since they began tipping in 2018 at a return on investment (ROI) of 34%.

The yearly totals are as follows:-

2018: +274 points profit
2019: +286 points profit
2020: +208 points profit
2021: +500 points profit

As you can see a superb level of consistency to have achieved, with over 200 points profit each year for four years now. All of this has been independently proofed to the SBC, a source we trust. Plus the last year’s results have also been proofed to Betting Gods, another source we trust.

Needless to say then we are very much looking forward to this review as it’s one of the most promising tipsters we have come across in some time.

We shouldn’t tempt fate or get ahead of ourselves though – let’s see how they get on in a live trial.

We started receiving tips on 19th October so will record results from then. Results will be updated here as we go along as normal.
