Are caddies paid a salary?

As Collins explained, caddies also get a weekly salary negotiated with their player. Caddies can range from $1,500-$3,000 a week. However, some caddies opt for a higher weekly paycheck in exchange for a lower percentage of winnings.

Caddies on the PGA Tour can make some good money.

Former PGA Tour caddie Michael Collins revealed the standard payout caddies.

Collins said that caddies usually get 10% of the winnings from a win, as well as a weekly rate. Top editors give you the stories you want — delivered right to your inbox each weekday.

The tournament boasted one of the most star-studded fields in all of golf, and included a $12 million purse to be split amongst those that made the cut. Phil Mickelson, who put together four brilliant rounds to win the tournament, took home the winner's share of $2.16 million. But the golfers aren't the only ones with big money at stake over the weekend — the caddies carrying their bags, helping read the greens, and helping to keep the flow of a round going also have plenty of skin in the game. As former PGA Tour caddie Michael Collins revealed on his ESPN+ show, "America's Caddie," PGA Tour caddies all have their own deals with their respective golfers. However, there are some general rules that apply across the board. "Every caddie gets a weekly paycheck, no matter where his player finishes," Collins said in a cheekily animated video for his show. "If the player misses the cut, the caddie still has to get a paycheck because the caddie pays for all of his own expenses — airfare, hotel, car, food, all of it." "If the guy makes the cut, the standard is 10-7-5 — 10% for a win, 7% for a top 10, 5% for everything else," Collins said. With Phil taking home $2.16 million, that means his caddie — Phil's brother Tim — is likely in line for a $216,000 payout. As Collins explained, caddies also get a weekly salary negotiated with their player. Caddies can range from $1,500-$3,000 a week. However, some caddies opt for a higher weekly paycheck in exchange for a lower percentage of winnings. "No caddie and player has the same deal," Collins said. "Everyone negotiates themselves."

Is Quentin Franks racing any good?

Quentin Franks Racing is one of the best horse racing tipsters out there and one of the few services that have been around for so long. It is no wonder the bookies are on his tail! We were pleased to still be able to make a profit at the available odds and also at Betfair SP.

Tips are sent out daily at around 9.30am and they can be accessed by email, within the member's area of the website or on the Betting God's mobile app. The staking plan is simple, with most selections backed at 1 - 2 point win only, so results are not inflated by higher stakes. The tipster's profit to date stands at a staggering £17,601.30 at an ROI of 15.5%, which averages at £2,246.97 profit per year based on £10 per point stakes. Quentin Franks Racing has stood the test of time on the Betting Gods platform with results going all the way back to 2014. The test for this service, with it being so popular over the years, is whether it is actually possible to get bets on at the advised odds before the bookies cut them. That can be an issue with successful tipsters and why we felt that a review of the service was necessary. We aimed to find out if the advertised results were actually achievable for subscribers. We recorded our own results over a period of three months and the verdict was, yes, the odds often began to drop after receiving the tips. However, we were still able to make 46.13 points profit at an ROI of 8.2% at the available odds. Quentin Franks Racing is one of the best horse racing tipsters out there and one of the few services that have been around for so long. It is no wonder the bookies are on his tail! We were pleased to still be able to make a profit at the available odds and also at Betfair SP. It is without a doubt a resounding pass for this service.
