Bobby Jones certainly got things right with Augusta National Golf Club<\/a>, didn't he? Since 1934, The Masters<\/a> has been one of the biggest and best events on the golf calendar and is viewed by many as one of the premier sporting events in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last eight-plus decades, some of golf's biggest names have been crowned Masters champion, including Gene Sarazen, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus<\/a>, Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros, Tom Watson, Nick Faldo, Tiger Woods, and Phil Mickelson, all of whom have been elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So who has the lowest 72-hole score at The Masters? For more than two decades, that record was shared by Jack Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd, who were tied at 17-under until Tiger Woods<\/a> shot 18-under in his historic victory in 1997, which was tied by Jordan Spieth in 2015. But the mark now belongs to Dustin Johnson, who bested that total by two strokes in 2020 with an incredible 20-under performance at Augusta National. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
