How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a famous golfer” — not generic advice.
Sports prompts punish bandwagon answers. If they won last year, everyone typed them.
Lead with Arnold Palmer. It's the kind of answer that makes other players say 'I knew that!' after the reveal — which is exactly why they didn't type it. Phil Mickelson works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
Watch out for Tiger Woods. It's valid, but validity isn't the game — rarity is. Jack Nicklaus has the same problem: everyone knows it, so everyone types it, so it scores like everyone.
Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka are the honest middle of this prompt — answers most players know but few type first. If your instinct answer feels too easy, reach for this layer instead of the obvious.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Tom Watson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 10 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
