Masters champions: List of every winner at Augusta
Putting on the Green Jacket at Augusta National is a near-unrivaled feat in golf, so let’s look at all The Masters winners in the tournament’s rich history.
Scottie Scheffler is the last player to add his name to the illustrious list of Masters champions after winning the 2022 tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. But now someone is hoping to earn their own Green Jacket (or another) in the 2023 tournament and get everything that comes with that.
What comes with it is quite impressive. Winners at The Masters get a lifetime exemption to the tournament, are in the three other major championships for the next five years, earn a five-year PGA Tour card and invites to THE PLAYERS Championship for five years. More importantly, Masters champions earn a Green Jacket, a spot at the champions dinner, and their place in history among the all-time greats.
So who are all of The Masters champions to ever earn these honors (except for pre-1949 winners who didn’t receiver the iconic jacket)? Let’s take a look at every winner of this illustrious tournament.
