As we head into the first golf major of 2025, we look at how many Masters champions there have been by each country – with the USA, of course, leading the way – but which nations are next best at producing Masters winners?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The USA Has Produced 64 Past Masters Champions (from 88)<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first ever Masters golf event was staged in 1934 – and was won by US golfer Horton Smith with a score of -4.<\/p>\n

This was the start of the early American dominance in golf’s first major of the season.<\/p>\n

Another 23 Masters wins for the US followed – with the other nations not getting a look-in.<\/p>\n

In fact, since 1934, an American golfer had won every Masters – barring three – up until 1980.<\/p>\n

With South Africa’s Gary Player<\/strong> the only other golfer to get onto the Masters Hall-of-Fame<\/em> in these opening 45-year history of the tournament.<\/p>\n

In total, as we head into the 89th running – the Masters has seen an incredible 64 winners from the US. With 39 of these different players with many winning the famous green jacket more than once.<\/p>\n

This equates to a 73% share of winners over the last 88 Masters events for the US.<\/p>\n

Which US Golfer Has Won The Most Masters Titles?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

US golf legend Jack Nicklaus<\/strong> is the winning-most American in the history of the Masters.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed ‘ The Golden Bear’,<\/em> Nicklaus won his first green jacket in 1963 with a score of -2 and in total won 18 of golf’s major events during his career – which is three more than Tiger Woods.<\/p>\n

In addition to his record major haul, he also remarkably finished runner-up in 19 majors – which is another record, but probably one he doesn’t like being reminded about.<\/p>\n

His second and third Masters wins came in 1965 and 1966 – with his 1965 victory thanks to an incredible -17 score.<\/p>\n

Nicklaus added three more Masters titles. Two in 1972, 1975 – with his six and final one coming eleven years later in 1986.<\/p>\n

Being a past champion Jack Nicklaus continued to play in the Masters – with his last appearance in the major coming in 2005.<\/p>\n

    How Many Masters Has Tiger Woods Won?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Just one behind Jack Nicklaus on five Masters wins is Tiger Woods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    His first Augusta win came back in 1997 when he shot the best score at the time (-18) to win and be awarded the green jacket off one of only two Englishman to win the Masters<\/a> – Nick Faldo, who won in 1996.<\/p>\n

    That score of -18 has since been equalled by Jordon Spieth’s win in 2015 and then bettered in 2020 by Dustin Johnson’s record score of -20.<\/p>\n

    The next Masters wins for Woods came in 2001 and 2002 – two victories that were sandwiched between two non-US wins with Fiji’s Vijay Singh<\/strong> winning in 2000 and Canada’s Mike Weir<\/strong> in 2003.<\/p>\n

    He added a third in 2005 and then after a 14 year wait recorded his fifth Masters win in 2019.<\/p>\n

    While it also came 11 years after his last major full stop – which was in the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines.<\/p>\n
