The 1975 Masters Tournament was the 39th Masters Tournament, held April 10–13 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
Jack Nicklaus won his fifth Masters and thirteenth major title, one stroke ahead of runners-up Johnny Miller and Tom Weiskopf.[3][4][5][6][7] At age 40, Lee Elder became the first African-American to compete at the tournament,[8][9] but missed the cut by four strokes.[10][11]
The 1975 Masters is widely considered to be one of the greatest majors ever, with three great players at the peak of their games dueling in a thrilling Sunday finish.[5][12]
Had a playoff been required, it would have been a full 18-hole round on Monday. Prior to the next Masters in 1976, a sudden-death format was introduced and was first used in 1979.[13]
Nicklaus won his sixth green jacket eleven years later in 1986 at age 46.
