  • Golf Higher or Lower walkthrough: Nicklaus, Woods and Hagen

    Nicklaus edges Tiger Woods

    Round one gives you Jack Nicklaus against Tiger Woods, the two biggest names in the sport, and the counts land 18 to 15 for Jack.

    Hagen's majors dwarf Mickelson's

    Later it's Walter Hagen against Phil Mickelson. Recency pulls you toward Phil, but Hagen's 11 majors dwarf Phil's 6. That's the trap this game sets over and over.

    Golf Higher or Lower tips for reading eras and win years

    Memorizing the podium of major counts

  • Memorize the podium: Nicklaus 18, Woods 15, Hagen 11.
  • Trusting old champions over modern ones

  • Early century champions stack majors quietly. When in doubt between eras, old often beats modern.
  • Spotting the bigger legend in a crowded club

  • The two-major club is crowded and coin-flip rounds happen. Use the win years on the card to spot the bigger legend.
  • Treating ties as free points

  • Ties pay both ways, so identical-feeling pairs are free points, not landmines.
