Guess The Golfer | DoUKnowBall

Six clues stand between you and a mystery major champion: era, nationality, major count, which majors, initials, first name. How few do you need?

One major champion is hiding behind six clues, and the first is already on the table: the years they were winning majors. From there it's on you.

Wrong guesses unlock the rest in a fixed order: nationality, career major count, which of the four majors they won, initials, then first name. Scoring rewards the brave: a first-clue solve pays 600, and every extra clue costs 100.

Guess The Golfer walkthrough: Gary Player and South Africa

Missing on Arnold Palmer's year span

Say the first clue reads: won majors between 1959 and 1978. That's a long reign, so you gamble on Arnold Palmer. Miss; his wins sit between 1958 and 1964.

Gary Player confirmed for 500 points

Clue two says South Africa, and the long window suddenly makes sense. Gary Player, nine majors across two decades. You take 500 points on clue two.

Trading a 600 point flex for certainty

Calling the era cold would have been a 600-point flex, but 500 with certainty beats 0 with style.
