Golf Meets Tic-Tac-Toe: PGA Tour Pro and IndyCar Driver Take On a Unique Challenge
Fond of tic-tac-toe? Then you’ll appreciate the marvelous effort put in by two men, who just played the biggest game of the same, that the world has ever seen. However, in a twist that we can’t seem to get over, the enthusiast added golf to their adventure!
Skratch started a series called ‘Golfing Machines’ with Ryan Palmer and Graham Rahal. Moreover, the money generated from the same goes to their respective charities, the Graham and Courtney Rahal Foundation and the Ryan Palmer Foundation. Notably, they post weekly on their YouTube channel, presented by United Rentals, the world’s largest equipment renting company in the world.
The first episode was called ‘detour’, where they had to play a hole with machines scattered around the course. Maneuvering around them and with a couple of tasks along the way, the first to drain it in wins. Now, in the second episode, called ‘tic-tac-toe’, the two got together again, to go up into the air, for a different variation of the classic game.

An epic golf battle of tic-tac-toe
Palmer, 45, is a golfer on the PGA Tour with four titles. As for Rahal, 32, he is a race car driver on the IndyCar series with the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and has six wins to his name. In another fun yet challenging outing, the two hosts played a unique game of tic-tac-toe, however, placed on a vertical lift, 30 feet high in the air.
90 yards away from where they were stationed was their green. And on it was a 3*3 grid formed around the hole. The winner would be the first to tick off a line by hitting a shot into the squares. All the other rules of the original game applied as usual.
Palmer starts and drops one to the southwest of the green and marks that as his square. Rahal, with a superb shot, lands closest to the flag and snags the crucial center square. The game carries on, with Rahal eventually blocking Palmer’s path to an easy victory, paving the way for his own, by sketching a horizontal centerline.
