The top players tend to win the Masters more often than they do the other Majors. The top 10 Majors winners – if counting only those who started winning Majors post 1934, the year of the first Masters – have 91 Major wins between them. More than a third of these wins (31) have come at The Masters.
The first of the multiple winners of the Masters achieved his feat in just the third Masters – or the Augusta National Invitation Tournament, as it was then still called. (It was renamed The Masters Tournament in 1939.)
This particular player, a future Hall of Famer, was to play in 23 Masters tournaments but, apart from his two victories, only achieved one other top-10 finish at Augusta National. In the other three Majors – not admittedly that the current concept of Majors existed at the time – he recorded 16 top-10 finishes, but no wins.
However this is not the shortest gap between Masters victories, as there have been three golfers who have won successive Masters. All those who have won successive Masters have also gone on to win again at Augusta after that.
So, do you know who are these eighteen men?
