Greatness at Augusta National: 9 unbelievable Masters records that may never be beaten

Augusta National Golf Club has long been the stage where golfing legends are made and greatness personified.

The Masters, with its storied traditions and memories that will live long in the sport’s folklore, has produced some of golf’s most iconic performances.

And records that don’t just stand tall, but seem nearly untouchable.

From ultimate dominance to heroics under Sunday pressure, these milestones are some of the most impressive in sport.

As the new generations battle it out with the Green Jacket holders of old, many records will remain etched in time.

So what are some of the most incredible records at the Masters that still stand?

Here are 9 of the most impressive feats from Augusta National…

Most wins: Jack Nicklaus – 6

The Golden Bear’s six Green Jackets set the gold standard at Augusta with his longevity and clutch brilliance from 1963 to 1986.

His final win at 46 remains one of golf’s greatest moments and an iconic record that may never be beaten.

Lowest 72 total: Dustin Johnson – 268

2020 was DJ’s year, he was simply untouchable.

His 20 under-par performance at the Masters redefined scoring potential and opened eyes in Georgia.

Smooth, composed and utterly dominant, Johnson’s display of power and precision in the pandemic era hasn’t been beaten.

Largest winning margin: Tiger Woods – 12 strokes

Tiger’s 1997 demolition of the Augusta National test unleashed shockwaves across golf as the rookie blew away the field and revolutionised the sport.

The 12-shot victory remains the most lopsided win in Masters history.

Most appearances: Gary Player – 52

Gary Player was more than just a competitive player, he was a staple of the iconic event.

Over five decades, the South African brought his flair and relentless grit with his 52 appearances a testament to his fitness and longevity while competing against the best.

Most consecutive starts: Arnold Palmer – 50

Arnie’s constant presence over five straight decades was nothing short of heroic.

His presence brought style, swagger and fans by their thousands with his stunning streak reflecting a deep bond with the event he helped elevate into a global spectacle.

Most cuts made: Jack Nicklaus – 37

Longevity at the Masters is admirable with a Green Jacket ensuring a spot in the coveted field year on year.

But longevity plus greatness equals this record.

Nicklaus made the cut in 37 of his Masters appearances highlighting his class and ability to compete well into his 50s and not just make up the numbers.

Most consecutive cuts made: Tiger Woods – 24

Wood’s ability to battle through pain, pressure and time is legendary – having played the weekend at every Masters tournament he entered from 1997 to 2024 – 24 consecutive cuts.

This record is still active and we hope to see Woods contending at Augusta National in 2026.

Youngest winner: Tiger Woods – 21Y, 104D

When Tiger won in 1997, he shattered all expectations.

His win at just 21 years and 104 days made him the youngest-ever champion and was the launch of a legend.

Oldest winner: Jack Nicklaus – 46Y, 82D

In 1986, Nicklaus turned back the clock – and the leaderboard.

At 46, he roared to an unforgettable final-round 65 to snatch victory in one of golf’s greatest comebacks.
