There have been plenty of records set since the Masters Tournament started in 1934. Hole-by-hole scoring records, round records, tournament records – tons of interesting marks and a Hall of Fame list of familiar names stacked in the official book for Augusta National Golf Club.
Which record matters most?
That has to be most wins, and that would be Jack Nicklaus with six (1963, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975, 1986). Tiger Woods is entered this year, and a victory by Woods (1997, 2001, 2022, 2005, 2019) would tie Nicklaus for that record. They are followed by Arnold Palmer with four titles (1958, 1960, 1962, 1964), then five players with three wins at Augusta National (Jimmy Demaret, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo and Phil Mickelson).
