Who has won the most Masters tournaments (6)?
Answer
Jack Nicklaus
Answer
Jack Nicklaus
Jack Nicklaus has won the most Masters tournaments, with six victories. Nicklaus captured the green jacket in 1963, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975 and 1986, establishing a record that remains unmatched.
Nicklaus’s Masters career spanned more than two decades and included several landmark performances. His back-to-back victories in 1965 and 1966 made him the first golfer to successfully defend the Masters title. In 1986, at age 46, he won again with a spectacular final-round 65, becoming the tournament’s oldest champion and securing his eighteenth and final major championship.
Tiger Woods is second on the Masters victory list with five wins, while Arnold Palmer won four. Sam Snead, one of the choices in this quiz, won the tournament three times. Nicklaus’s six Masters titles form part of his broader record of 18 professional major championships, more than any other male golfer. The Masters is also the only major played annually at the same venue, Augusta National Golf Club.
