| Not completely sure what type of result you expect, but here's one that makes sense to me.
SELECT tour.record_id, tour.event_start_date, tour.event_end_date, tour.event_name, angler_results.result
FROM tour
LEFT JOIN angler_results
ON angler_results.tour_id = tour.record_id
AND angler_results.angler_id = 1
I've taken out the CASE - I personally never worked with that and I'd probably put a default value of 'N/A' in the column angler_results.result. The DISTINCT has to go too, I'm guessing that the relation tour.record_id -> angler_results.tour_id is 1 -> *
. The LEFT join CAN stay (as far as I know OUTER is only necessary when using ODBC or for maintaining compatibility with it, and then I'm still not sure what it does), if you want to have all rows in tour regardless of the join condition with NULL values
for angler_results.result where tour.record_id is not in angler_results.tour_id. To leave out the NULL values use an INNER JOIN instead.
