Sports categories on the television game show Jeopardy! are usually few and far between, and golf-specific categories are rarer than a Jordan Spieth three-putt. However, earlier this week the folks at TV’s most popular quiz show dedicated an entire category to the game.

The rest of the category was mundane in terms of controversy and offered golfers around the world the opportunity to scream out answers way before any of their other friends or family members in the room, a tradition as old as Alex Trebeck.
Here’s what the board looked like, thanks to J! Archive.
