The oldest golfer to win the US Masters is Jack Nicklaus (b. 21 January 1940), who was aged 46 years 82 days when he won the 1986 US Masters at Augusta National Country Club in Georgia, USA, on 13 April 1986.
Jack Nicklaus’s sixth and final Masters triumph was one of the most memorable in golfing history. Tied for 17th at the halfway point of the tournament, the 46-year-old charged through the field with a final round 65, shooting the back nine in just 30. He only took the tournament lead at the penultimate hole.
