Since the inception of the Masters<\/a> in 1934, a total of 55 different golfers<\/a> have been fortunate enough to win the tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of those 55, just 17 have taken the title at Augusta National Golf Club on multiple occasions. Jack Nicklaus, of course, leads the way with six victories, while Tiger Woods<\/a> is just behind with five. Nicklaus' longtime rival and friend, Arnold Palmer<\/a>, sits in solo third with four. Here's a quick look at the entire list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's quite the list, isn't it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there's a far more exclusive club than that. Of the 17 players who've won multiple Masters titles, only three have gone back-to-back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Nicklaus was the first to win back-to-back titles at the Masters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
