Palmer's golf tips
Palmer's golf tips

There aren't many tipsters whose catchphrases become famous, but then again there aren't many tipsters like Steve Palmer – and his mantra of 'This will not be beaten' is one his selections have certainly been living up to.

Palmer started this year with a 66-1 first-round leader winner when Tom Hoge obliged after the opening 18 holes of The Sentry, and the outright winners have swiftly followed for our golf expert – he advised a bet on Tyrrell Hatton to win Dubai Desert Classic at 9-1, then he was on the money again when 20-1 shot Laurie Canter won the Bahrain Championship on Sunday.

The Racing Post's golf guru has returned a profit in 21 out of 24 seasons with his outright golf advice and he ended last year 588.4 points in profit from 1,477 points staked – a profit on investment of 39.8 per cent.

There were plenty of highlights for Palmer's army of followers last year, including Scottie Scheffler to win the Masters, Xander Schauffele to win the Open and four winning selections at odds of 40-1 or more as he tipped a record-breaking 19 winners.

Palmer's golf tips are now available exclusively for Racing Post+ subscribers from 2pm every Tuesday, when you get his insight on the big tournaments in the US and Europe.

And, via the digital newspaper which also comes as part of the Ultimate package, subscribers can also read expert spotlight comments for all players in our extensive PGA Tour and DP World Tour price comparison grids which include course and recent form, plus Palmer's unique attribute icons to help identify the type of players likely to be suited to conditions each week.

What the bookies are saying

John Hill, Coral

"It's no exaggeration to say Steve Palmer is the tipster the bookmakers fear the most. His selections are always our worst results each week in the respective golf tournament markets, as punters put their faith in him. It is during the four majors we fear Steve Palmer the most. With the weight of money behind his selections, his picks shape the betting market."

Alex Apati, Ladbrokes

"Steve Palmer's golf tips have absolutely stood the test of time and he receives the utmost respect from our traders. Liabilities build quickly and his winners are always great news for many Ladbrokes golf customers. Any plans for retirement, Steve?"


Make sure not to miss Steve's monthly column

Want more pearls of punting wisdom?

Steve also writes an unmissable monthly column in the Racing Post and he proved he's more than just a golf expert in November when he pointed his army of followers in the direction of a 17-1 ante-post double on Irish Greyhound Derby winner Bockos Diamond and Judd Trump to win snooker's UK Championship.

His most recent column focused on Luke Littler, who Steve tipped for darting greatness after the 2024 PDC World Championship final.

Don't miss his monthly column, which will be available online exclusively to Racing Post+ subscribers on February 14 or in the Racing Post newspaper the following day.
