10 European Golfers Have Won Masters Tournament at Augusta National

Ten European golfers have captured the green jacket at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. The breakthrough came in 1980 when a Spanish golfer became the first European to win at Augusta National.

For the first 43 years of the Masters, which started in 1934, Europe had only one player finish in the top five. But in the following 17 years, European golfers claimed 10 victories at the famous course.

The Masters is one of golf's four major championships and considered among the sport's most exclusive events. Players must receive an invitation to compete, and winning earns them a coveted green jacket.

Several news outlets have created quizzes challenging golf fans to name all the European Masters winners. The quiz format has become popular as the 2024 Masters approaches, testing fans' knowledge of golf history.

European success at Augusta helped establish the continent as a major force in professional golf, changing the sport's landscape from American dominance to global competition.
