33. knew 24 more but didnt thik hard enuf!

Level 58

Jan 3, 2013

I got a measly 11/127. LOL. And I only got Bobby Nichols because I was thinking of Jack Nicholson... but then I remembered it's Jack Nicklaus! Always get them mixed up.

Level 45

Apr 14, 2015

I did the exact same thing (Bobby Nichols)! :)

Level 79

Apr 16, 2014

Got Woods, Mickelson and Nicklaus because people have actually heard of them. Got Johnson, Jones, Thompson and Green because they have common last names. Gave up. Saw that I missed Palmer, Mcllroy, Hogan and Couples... the only ones I'd heard of that I didn't guess.

Level 79

Apr 21, 2014

I've definitely heard of Hogan. I listed him among the ones I'd heard of but forgot. Fuzzy Zoeller I also remember being in the news, didn't notice his last name before. Snead and Player I don't recall ever having heard of before. Snead sounds vaguely familiar but that may be because I used to have some neighbors named Snead.

Level 79

Jul 13, 2017

What??? You haven't heard of GARY PLAYER?!?!? I don't know that many golf people, but I have heard of him.

Level 79

Apr 5, 2018

um.. nope. Sorry.

Level 75

Apr 10, 2017

Got Woods, Nicklaus and Palmer on basis of having heard of them. Common last names: Johnson, Jones, Green, Hamilton (I think I was thinking of Formula1) and Graham. So 10 total.

Level 80

Apr 16, 2020

If that's all you've heard of then I'd say you're probably not much into golf.

"Yong-eun" doesn't work when typed in.

His family name is Yang.

Level 73

Knew Payne Stewart because we're both from Missouri. He left us far too soon.

Level 53

Aug 15, 2015

Fancy extending this beyond the 1950's?

Level 65

Nov 5, 2015

This has taken me for ever to get them all.

Level 88

Apr 1, 2016

Do we lose our points every time you update this quiz?

Level 93

Apr 5, 2016

Yes.

Level 88

Boo! (And I don't mean Weekley.)

They vacated his titles.

You can add Koepka for the 2017 US Open.

Level ∞

Jul 13, 2017

I won't be reseting this quiz after every major anymore. I'll add all the new names at the end of the year.

Level 57

Jul 24, 2017

Two 2017 champs need to be updated.

Thanks

Level 95

Aug 18, 2017

I like that it accepts "lefty" for Mickelson :)

Level 87

Aug 21, 2017

A little flexibility with "Oosthuizen" possibly? I used an "s" instead of the "z" and....no dice. :-(

Level 53

Feb 16, 2018

30 months on from my last request I beg you to pleeeeeeeeeeeease go beyond the 50s. I love this quiz but I get them all now, I need more of a challenge

Level 83

Apr 5, 2018

Make the quiz yourself, I'll play it.

Level 80

Feb 23, 2018

Hard to believe only 80% guessed the Golden Bear, and only 75% got the great Arnold Palmer. Wow.

Level 69

Apr 5, 2018

Wow. The average is 41. I like golf and actually watch but I was nowhere near that. I'm impressed.

Level 83

Jul 24, 2023

Every time the quiz resets we all have to redo it to get our points, meaning we slowly memorize them all over the years.

Level 83

Apr 5, 2018

61 and I missed a few pretty obvious ones, like Duvall, Leonard, Curtis. Very impressive if you can get 100.

Level 45

Apr 6, 2018

Great quiz, got 47, but missed some obvious ones.

Level 75

Aug 20, 2018

17. I knew two and the rest by guessing surnames. Gave up with plenty of time left.

Level 79

Mar 10, 2019

I got 26 this time. Good for 1 point up until next year when this is updated. And some of that was cheating reading through the comments...

Level 50

Apr 10, 2020

*Nicklaus*

*Woods*

*Player*

*Palmer*

*Mickelson*

*Give up*

Level 67

Jul 12, 2021

No love for an update, QM? We've had 6 more majors produce three first-time winners since the most recent update, and a 7th major starts this weekend. I'm even ok if you tack them on in different columns like the 2019 update. Pretty Please!?!

Level 67

Jul 26, 2021

Thank you, QM!

Level 79

Jul 30, 2021

I only know Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer smh

Works for me.

Level ∞

Jul 25, 2023

What do people think - should I move to an every 2 years update schedule for this one? There will be at least one new winner every year so I'll have to reset the stats every time.

Level 56

Nov 24, 2023

Sounds fine!

Level 87

Jul 24, 2024

I think that's reasonable.

Level 79

Apr 21, 2024

one day we'll see Tony Finau on here I just know it, gotta have faith

Level 29

Apr 14, 2025

Finally in the first column at the end of the year we'll see Rory

Level 67

Jul 21, 2025

update for 2025 now!!!

Level 59

Jul 29, 2025

where is Rory Mcllroy?. He is not showing here, or has been spelt wrongly. He won five majors I believe

Level 67

Sep 19, 2025

why do it every other year. if that’s the case anyone reading this i’m about to make my own one soon, updated every year after british open and it doesn’t stop at 1950, every year every major was on. has to be done for the real golf fans wanting to test their knowledge more consistently

update 5 mins later after i scrolled up.

quizmaster i get your point honestly since you have 1000s of quizzes to update all the time. is there any issue with me doing what i said since it will be an unverified quiz anyway?
