- Jack Nicklaus has won the most Masters.
- Tiger Woods became the youngest Masters champion in 1997.
- Eighteen golfers have won multiple Masters.
The most successful players in Masters Tournament history have managed to handle the pressure on multiple occasions throughout their storied careers. It is the most high-profile golf event in the world, with traditions and prestige, unlike any other major.
As a result, I regularly look at golf betting odds for the Masters several months before the tournament begins at the iconic Augusta National course.
With the course presenting unique challenges, the players with the shortest odds to win the Masters must excel in all facets of the game.

Jack Nicklaus holds the record for the most Masters wins with six. Tiger Woods is second with five Masters’ victories, his most recent triumph in 2019 putting him ahead of Arnold Palmer.
Who Was the Youngest Masters Winner?
Woods was the youngest Masters winner when he claimed the green jacket for the first time in 1997.
Woods was 21 years, three months, and 14 days old when he achieved his historic and record-setting victory.
Despite missing the cut at Augusta in the previous year, PGA Tour betting markets priced Woods among the pre-tournament favourites heading into the 1997 edition after a string of impressive performances.
Can Masters Winners Play Augusta Anytime?
Yes, Masters winners become honorary members of the Augusta National Golf Club. They can play the iconic course whenever they want, as long as they are hosted by a full club member.
