The Knowledge Open is more than a golf outing. Teams’ scramble scores are lessened 1/2 a stroke for each correct Masters Knowledge Challenge quiz answer. That’s right… the outing is also educational. Quiz questions highlight interesting facts about the Foundation, school district, and other topics important to sponsors.

Here are this year’s quizzes:

*18-hole Masters Knowledge Challenge quiz and answers

*9-hole Masters Knowledge Challenge quiz and answers
