Who is the youngest golfer to have won the Masters?

Tiger Woods is the youngest golfer to have won the Masters. He was 21 years and 104 days old when he captured the 1997 tournament at Augusta National.

Woods defeated Tom Kite by 12 strokes, finishing at 18 under par. The victory was his first major championship and made him the first Masters champion of Asian descent. His winning margin and score were also tournament records at the time.

The record is often confused with the youngest player to compete in or make the cut at the Masters. Guan Tianlang became the youngest competitor and youngest player to make the cut in 2013, aged 14, but he did not win. Jack Nicklaus remains the tournament’s oldest winner, taking the 1986 title at age 46.
