About This Quiz
Even casual golf fans know the names of legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus or Davis Love, but do you know what these sports icons look like? If you think you can recognize the world's greatest golfers, you might have what it takes to ace this quiz on the winners of the PGA Heritage tournament!
Every April -- one week after The Masters -- some of the best golfers on the planet gather in Hilton Head, South Carolina to take part in the PGA Heritage tournament. The event has been held annually since 1969, and it was Arnold Palmer himself who took the trophy at the inaugural outing. Since then, some of the best men in the sport have scored under par to take the title and secure their spot in the history books.
Though the name of the event has changed -- it's gone from the Heritage Classic, to the Sea Pines Heritage Classic, to taking on the names of sponsors like MCI and RBC -- the tradition remains the same. As one of only five annual PGA tournaments with invitational status, the Heritage event includes a select group of 132 players, all vying to break records, out-swing opponents and take the top prize.
Think you could recognize the winners of this prestigious event from just a single image? Take our quiz to find out!
