About Golf Trivia

Golf trivia performs especially well at country clubs, sports bars during Masters week, and any venue serving an audience that follows the PGA Tour from January's Sentry through the Tour Championship in August. The four men's majors — the Masters, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and the Open Championship — anchor every great golf trivia night. The Masters has been played at Augusta National in Georgia every April since 1934 (with breaks for World War II), and a green jacket presentation is one of the most recognizable rituals in sports. Jack Nicklaus holds the all-time majors record with 18, followed by Tiger Woods at 15 and Walter Hagen at 11. Tiger's 1997 Masters win — by 12 strokes at age 21 — and his 2019 Masters comeback after years of injury rank among the most-watched moments in golf history.

Beyond the majors, great trivia pulls from course knowledge (St Andrews' Old Course, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst No. 2, Royal Birkdale), the Ryder Cup rivalry between the U.S. and Europe, equipment history (Ping's perimeter weighting, the rise of the metalwood, the modern multi-layer ball), the LPGA legends (Annika Sörenstam, Nancy Lopez, Lorena Ochoa), and the modern era (Rory McIlroy's career grand slam attempts, Scottie Scheffler's world No. 1 run, LIV Golf's split with the PGA Tour). Bonus territory: the Champions Tour, the rules debates that shape every Sunday telecast, and golf's appearance in the 2016 Olympics for the first time in 112 years.

Sample Golf Trivia Questions & Answers

Where is the Masters Tournament played every year?

Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. The course was co-designed by Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie and has hosted the Masters every year since 1934 except 1943-1945 during World War II.

Who holds the record for most career major championships?

Jack Nicklaus with 18 — six Masters, five PGA Championships, four U.S. Opens, and three Open Championships. Tiger Woods is second with 15 majors.

What course is known as the "home of golf"?

The Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland. Golf has been played on the links there since at least the 15th century, and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club is based there.

How old was Tiger Woods when he won his first Masters in 1997?

21. He won by 12 strokes — still the largest margin of victory in Masters history — and became the youngest Masters champion ever.

What does the green jacket signify at the Masters?

It is awarded to the Masters champion each year by the previous year's winner. The jacket remains the property of Augusta National except during the year a champion may take it home.

Which four tournaments make up the men's professional grand slam?

The Masters, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and the Open Championship (also called the British Open). Only Tiger Woods has held all four titles simultaneously, in 2000-2001 — the "Tiger Slam."

What is an albatross in golf?

Three strokes under par on a single hole — also called a double eagle. It is far rarer than a hole-in-one and most often happens on a par 5 with a long second shot holed out.

Who is the only golfer to win all four men's majors in a single calendar year?

Bobby Jones in 1930, when the four majors were the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, British Open, and British Amateur. No professional has done it since the modern grand slam definition was set in the 1960s.

What club did Jack Nicklaus famously call the most important in his bag?

The putter. Nicklaus repeatedly credited his 1962-era George Low Wizard 600 putter — and his ability to lag long birdie putts close — for many of his major wins.

Which course hosts the U.S. Open most frequently?

Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, which has hosted nine U.S. Opens through 2025 — more than any other venue.

Who won the 2019 Masters in one of the greatest comebacks in sports?

Tiger Woods. It was his first major win in 11 years and came after multiple back surgeries that had threatened to end his career.

What is the lowest score ever shot in a men's major championship?

62, shot by Branden Grace in the third round of the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Several players have since matched it.

Which biennial team event pits the United States against Europe?

The Ryder Cup. It has been contested since 1927, originally between the U.S. and Great Britain, and expanded to include all of Europe in 1979.

Who is the only player to win the Masters as both an amateur and a professional?

None — no amateur has ever won the Masters. The lowest amateur each year is awarded the Silver Cup. Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Phil Mickelson all came close as amateurs but didn't win until turning pro.

What is the par for most championship golf courses?

72, made up of typically four par 3s, ten par 4s, and four par 5s. Augusta National plays as a par 72.

How to Host a Golf Trivia Night

Golf trivia draws a high-spend crowd that already gathers around the bar after a round or during a major. Schedule the night around a real golf event — Masters week (early April), the U.S. Open (June), the Open Championship (July), or Ryder Cup weekend (late September). Promote two to three weeks out through your country-club newsletter, local golf shops, and Instagram. Encourage teams to wear their loudest course outfits — argyle, plus-fours, throwback Payne Stewart knickers all welcome.

Run four rounds of about 10 questions each: a general golf round, a majors-and-courses round, a player-history round (Palmer, Nicklaus, Woods, Mickelson, McIlroy), and a deep-cuts round on the LPGA, the Ryder Cup, and rules quirks. The picture round should feature recognizable holes — the 12th at Augusta, the Road Hole at St Andrews, the 18th at Pebble Beach. Cap teams at 6 players. Charge $5-$10 per player, with the pot going to first place in pro-shop credit or a venue gift card.

Theme the food and drink: bourbon flights, Arnold Palmers (iced tea + lemonade), pimento-cheese sandwiches in honor of the Masters concession menu, and a featured craft beer named after the night's host hole. Keep the night to 90 minutes — golf fans came to talk shop. Wrap by 9:30 PM. The regulars stay for one more, and they're back next major.
