The 1964 Masters Tournament was the 28th Masters Tournament, held April 9–12 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. A field of 96 players entered the tournament and 48 made the 36-hole cut at 148 (+4).
Arnold Palmer, age 34, opened with three rounds in the 60s and led by five strokes after 54 holes at 206 (−10).[3] He carded a final round of 70 on Sunday to win by six strokes to become the first four-time winner of the Masters.[4] It was his seventh and final major victory.
Craig Wood, the 1941 champion, played in his final Masters, but withdrew before completing the first round.[5] Prior to his win at Augusta, he was the runner-up in the first two Masters in 1934 and 1935.
Labron Harris, Jr. won the Par 3 contest with a score of 23.
Palmer was later joined as a four-time winner at Augusta by Jack Nicklaus in 1972 and Tiger Woods in 2005; Nicklaus won his fifth in 1975 and a record sixth in 1986.
