In 2015, a 21-year-old from Dallas burst onto the PGA Tour scene, dominating in a fashion rarely seen in golf at such a young age. It culminated at the 2015 Masters, where Jordan Spieth had a record-tying performance, leading all four rounds to become the first 21-year-old to win the Masters since Tigers Woods and the second-youngest Masters champion ever, with only Woods achieving the feat at a younger age.

“El Pato” (the Duck) won the U.S. Open in 2007 and solidified his place in history with a triumph at Augusta in 2009. The Argentine is known for his huge swing and used to be renowned for smoking while playing.

Zach Johnson – 2007

Sam Greenwood/Getty Images

Johnson was the first man from outside the world’s top 50 golfers to win the Masters. His win in 2007 catapulted him in the rankings, and he added a British Open title since.

Phil Mickelson – 2004, 2006, 2010

Timothy A. Clary/Getty Images

After years of anguish and coming so agonizingly close to winning a major, Lefty finally broke through at Augusta in 2004. He hasn’t looked back, winning the Masters two more times since then in addition to two other major wins.

14 of 53

Mike Weir – 2003

David Cannon/Getty Images

The diminutive Canadian beat Len Mattiace in a playoff to win the 2003 Masters, by far his career highlight. He does have eight PGA Tour wins under his belt, which isn’t so bad, eh?

15 of 53

Vijay Singh – 2000

Craig Jones/Getty Images

Singh has had an illustrious career, winning the PGA Championship twice, the Masters once and earning 34 PGA Tour wins overall. Not bad for a guy who once told reporters that he used to hit coconuts instead of golf balls as a young man in his native Fiji. He was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2005.

16 of 53

Mark O’Meara – 1998

Harry How/Getty Images

Fred Couples – 1992

Focus On Sport/Getty Images

When Fred Couples was attending the University of Houston in the late ’70s, one of his roommates was none other than Jim Nantz. As Couples powered his way to glory at Augusta in 1992, Nantz — who had been anchoring CBS’s Masters coverage since 1988 — was right there to announce the whole thing.

Ian Woosnam – 1991

Stephen Munday/Getty Images

Faldo is arguably the greatest European golfer of all time. The man from Hertfordshire, England, won six majors, his last a superb comeback win at the 1996 Masters.

21 of 53

Sandy Lyle – 1988

David Cannon/Getty Images

One of the best golfers in the world during the 1980s, Lyle edged out Mark Calcavecchia to win the 1988 Masters. He also won the the Open Championship in 1985.

23 of 53

Bernhard Langer – 1985, 1993

Lutz Bongarts/Getty Images

He of belly putter fame (and shame) did indeed win the Masters twice (’85, ’93) and rule the roost on the European Tour for quite some time. He’s also been dominant on the senior tour, but let’s put an asterisk next to Herr Langer’s accomplishments until the golf gods make a ruling on the legitimacy of the belly putter, which has since been outlawed on the tour.

Ben Crenshaw – 1984, 1995

Brian Morgan/Getty Images

The Walrus! The big guy beat Dan Pohl in a playoff to win his green jacket in 1982.

26 of 53

Seve Ballesteros – 1980, 1983

Brian Morgan/Getty Images

Maybe the best European golfer of all time, Ballesteros won five majors before his tragic death at age 54 in 2011. Both of his wins in Augusta were dominant, winning by four strokes each time.

Fuzzy Zoeller – 1979

Focus On Sport/Getty Images

Zoeller is remembered mostly for making tremendously racist comments about Tiger Woods in 1997, though he did win a green jacket in 1979.

28 of 53

Tom Watson – 1977, 1981

Don Morley/Getty Images

Watson was probably the best golfer on the planet for a solid spell there in the late ’70s and early ’80s. He finished his career with eight majors and two green jackets.

29 of 53

Raymond Floyd – 1976

Augusta National/Getty Images

In addition to winning a green jacket in 1973, Aaron is also remembered for being the guy who cost Roberto De Vicenzo the 1968 Masters by miscalculating his score.

Charles Coody – 1971

Evening Standard/Getty Images

Casper is not a household name, but he racked up the seventh-highest number of PGA Tour wins in history (51). In addition to winning a green jacket in 1970, he also won the U.S. Open in 1959 and 1966.

Archer’s lone major victory came at the 1969 Masters. The six-foot-five Californian ended his career with 13 PGA Tour wins.

34 of 53

Bob Goalby – 1968

Augusta National/Getty Images

Goalby won the 1968 Masters thanks to a scoring goof. Goalby and Roberto De Vicenzo were tied after regulation, which ordinarily would result in a playoff between the two to determine the champion. De Vicenzo’s scorecard, however, was off by one stroke (his actual score being one shot lower than what he had listed). This unfortunate blunder gave Goalby his one and only major win in his career.

Gay Brewer – 1967

Reg Innell/Getty Images

Brewer lost in a playoff in the 1966 Masters. He got his revenge the very next year, however, when he won in Augusta by a single stroke.

37 of 53

Gary Player – 1961, 1974, 1978

Dozier Mobley/Getty Images

One of the all-time greats, Player has won 165 tournaments in over 60 years of playing golf. The South African legend won every major, including his three Masters triumphs.

Burke overcame an eight-stroke deficit in the final round to win the 1956 Masters and also went on to win the PGA Championship that same year. Well into his 90s, Burke was still giving putting lessons to the game’s greats, like Phil Mickelson.

Hogan is one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game. He won nine majors — including every single one in 1953 — and became one of golf’s most beloved and legendary ambassadors. The “Wee Iceman” won the Masters in 1951 and 1953.

Underwood Archives/Getty Images

The original “Slammin’ Sammy” is regarded by many as the greatest golfer of all time. He won a record 82 PGA tournaments and a total of seven majors, including his three wins at Augusta. After Snead’s 1949 victory, the first-ever Masters green jacket presentation ceremony was conducted.

Claude Harmon – 1948

Augusta National/Getty Images

Harmon finished his career with just two PGA tour wins. One of those happened to be the 1948 Masters, which earned him a $2,500 windfall and sealed his place in golf lore.

Herman Keiser – 1946

Augusta National/Getty Images

World War II put a hold on the Masters in 1943, 1944 and 1945. In 1946 a relatively unknown U.S. Navy veteran named Herman Keiser played the tournament of his life to narrowly defeat Ben Hogan to win the Masters.

Augusta National/Getty Images

Demaret was the first golfer to win the Master three times (1940, 1947, 1950). He finished his career with 36 tournament wins and was elected to the Golf Hall of Fame in 1983.
