The six-game run
Jeopardy.com reported the end of his streak on 27 January 2023, after six wins. A six-game champion sits comfortably inside the range that qualifies for the Tournament of Champions, the invitational the show runs annually for the season's strongest players.
That is the whole of the regular-season record in the sources used for this page. The show's dispatch is a streak-end note rather than a profile, and it does not carry his winnings total, his occupation or his home city. This page does not supply any of them.
The 2024 Tournament of Champions
On 11 March 2024 Jeopardy.com reported that Ben Chan, Yogesh Raut and Troy Meyer had advanced to the final of that year's Tournament of Champions. The tournament's final stage is played over several games, with the first player to reach three match wins taking the title.
Raut won it, a result confirmed by the show's report of 19 March 2024. Reaching that final means beating a field drawn from an entire season's best champions, most of whom had longer regular-season streaks than six games. It is the strongest documented result of Meyer's Jeopardy! career.
Why the tournament is the real test
A regular-season streak is won against two new challengers each night, one of whom is usually playing their first game of televised quiz. The Tournament of Champions removes that advantage entirely: every opponent is a champion, every opponent knows the buzzer, and the margin of error collapses.
Players who dominate the regular season often go out early in the tournament, and players with modest streaks occasionally go deep. Meyer belongs to the second group, which is the more difficult and less celebrated achievement of the two.
A note on the name
The research record behind this page flags a practical problem: Troy Meyer is a common enough name that search results mix several different people. Anything attributed to a Troy Meyer that does not concern Jeopardy! should be treated as a different person unless a source says otherwise.
This page therefore confines itself strictly to the two Jeopardy.com dispatches. Biographical details circulating elsewhere under the name are not corroborated here, and none of them appears above.
What is documented and what is not
Documented by Jeopardy.com: that his streak ended after six wins, reported on 27 January 2023, and that he advanced to the final of the 2024 Tournament of Champions alongside Ben Chan and Yogesh Raut, reported on 11 March 2024.
Not documented in these sources: his age or date of birth, his occupation, his home city, his total winnings, his result in the tournament final beyond Raut winning it, and anything about him since March 2024. No IQ figure appears anywhere in this file. Given the name clash, the absence of detail here is deliberate rather than accidental.
