Top 10 Golfers with Multiple Masters Wins

The Masters is one of, if not the biggest, tournaments in all of professional golf. It is also one of the most well-known and iconic sporting events on the calendar each year at Augusta National Golf Club, with the winner receiving a Green Jacket.

Only a few players in the history of the tournament have won it multiple times.

The Top Ten

Jack Nicklaus

Some consider Jack Nicklaus to be the greatest professional golfer of all time, and it's not hard to see why when you look at his career resume. Jack has won the Masters 6 times, the most of any player, and has 18 major victories, ranking 1st in PGA Tour history. He has 73 total PGA Tour wins, ranking 3rd all time.
He is one of only 3 players to ever go back-to-back at the Masters, and he was the first to accomplish this feat. He won in 1963, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975, and 1986. Other than Tiger, I don't think we'll see anyone come close to matching him in Green Jackets for a long time.
Tiger Woods

Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods, born December 30, 1975, is an American professional golfer. He is widely regarded as one of the most successful golfers in history, with 15 major championship wins. Woods is tied with Sam Snead for the most PGA Tour victories, with 82 career wins.

Surprisingly, Tiger doesn't have the most Masters wins of all time, although he's one of only two players to have five wins or more at Augusta National. Tiger needs no introduction. He was the definition of pure dominance ever since he emerged on the scene in the late 90s. He won his first Masters in 1997, breaking the "color barrier" in the golf world.
He won in 2001 and 2002, being the last player to go back to back. He would win again in 2005 and win his most recent major championship in the 2019 Masters.
His off the course reputation may be questionable at best, but his on the course legacy speaks for itself, placing him firmly at the top of all time best golfers with 82 PGA Tour wins and 15 major victories, and completing the Grand Slam.
Arnold Palmer

Arnold Daniel Palmer was an American professional golfer widely considered one of the greatest and most influential players in the sport's history. He won numerous championships, including seven major titles. Palmer was also instrumental in popularizing golf with the general public during the television... read more

Arnold Palmer is still widely considered one of the best golfers of all time and one of the most charismatic players ever. He has 4 Masters wins in 1958, 1960, 1962, and 1964 respectively, and was truly one of the best players in the late 50s and 60s. He won 7 majors but never completed the Grand Slam. He has 62 wins on the PGA Tour, ranking 5th all time.
Palmer is well known for his influence on commercializing golf from the rich and wealthy to the middle class. His personality was genuinely very likable, and he was very much a man of the people.
Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson is best known for being a risky and aggressive player, and notably known for being left-handed. (Being a lefty in golf is very rare.) He was one of the most talented and impressive players in the 2000s. He was, of course, overshadowed by Tiger but still respectable in his own right.
Phil has won the Masters 3 times, winning in 2004, 2006, and 2010, accounting for 3 of his 6 major wins. He has 45 wins on the PGA Tour, ranking 8th all time. He currently plays on the LIV Golf tour.
Nick Faldo

Nick Faldo is regarded as one of the greatest golfers of all time. Originally born in England, he played college golf at the University of Houston and turned pro in 1976. Faldo was ranked #1 in the Official World Golf Ranking for 97 weeks. He won 6 majors total, and 3 of those were at the Masters.
One of the few players to successfully defend his title, he went back-to-back in 1989 and 1990, and won his third in 1996, which is honestly more notable for Greg Norman's choke than Faldo's comeback. Interestingly, he only won 9 times on the PGA Tour, and for a bulk of his career, he played on the European Tour.
Gary Player

Gary Player is one of the best players of all time, and not only one of the first notable international players but one of the greatest international players ever. He was born in South Africa and was the first non-U.S. player to ever win the Masters, winning in 1961, then 1974 and 1978. He has 159 wins across various tours with wins on 6 continents. He has 9 major championships and is one of only 6 players to ever complete the career Grand Slam, becoming the first international player to do so.
Sam Snead

Many people consider Sam Snead to be one of the all-time great golfers. He played professionally across 4 different decades, from the late 30s to the early 60s.
Snead won the Masters 3 times in 6 years, from 1949-1954. He had 7 major wins but never won a U.S. Open, keeping him from the Grand Slam. Snead had 82 PGA Tour wins, still tied for the most all time.
Jimmy Demaret

Most golf experts won't recognize the name Jimmy Demaret, but he's notable simply because he was the first 3-time Masters winner, accomplishing the feat in 1950.
Those 3 wins were his only major victories. He had 31 PGA Tour wins and 37 wins total.
Ben Hogan

Many golf historians would consider Ben Hogan one of the greatest players to ever do it. He was influential on his ball striking ability and golf swing in general. He was one of the more dominant players in the late 40s and throughout the 50s, winning the Masters in 1951 and 1953. He has 9 major championships and is one of only 6 players to ever complete the career Grand Slam. He is still in 4th place all time in PGA Tour wins to this day. Honestly, it is a bit surprising he only won the Masters twice.
Horton Smith

Horton Smith is probably not a name many people in the golf world are super familiar with, but he is notable in Masters history as the first ever Masters champion in 1934. He was the first player to win multiple times at the Masters, winning his second Masters tournament in 1936. That was basically the highlight of his career, as those were his only 2 major tournament wins.
