Who has won The Masters? Year-by-year winners of the Green Jacket and every past major victory at Augusta National

Who has won The Masters? Which players have enjoyed the most success at Augusta National? We look at the previous winners of the opening major of the year...

The Masters is one of the biggest golf tournaments in the sporting calendar, with the world's best players travelling to Georgia every April for the first of four majors in as many months.

Jack Nicklaus holds the record for most victories at Augusta National and remains the oldest winner in its history, claiming his sixth title when aged 46 in 1986, while Tiger Woods is one behind after his 2019 success.

Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Seve Ballesteros all feature on the tournament's roll of honour since its inception in 1934, while England's Sir Nick Faldo is a three-time winner of The Masters.

Rory McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam with play-off victory over Justin Rose in the 2025 contest, ending an 11-year wait for an elusive fifth major title.
